Kim,
I recently spoke to Dr. Fasano's nurse to see if we could skip my younger son's follow-up because he is doing well. Last spring he was quite sick and found to have increased eosinophils in his blood and colon. She asked what we were doing for him. I told her we had changed his diet by removing the foods he reacted to on the IgG delayed food allergy test and that we had worked with a nutritionist to add digestive enzymes, probiotics, and several vitamin supplements. I had been told last spring that Dr. Fasano's group did not fully support the delayed food allergy testing but went ahead with it anyway. Her response was to keep doing what we are doing and added that "most of our eosinophil kids don't do so well".

So I guess this gives support to removing more than gluten from a diet. We pretty much follow a whole food diet also. Do your dh and ds take digestive enzymes? The site enzymestuff.com might be helpful. They might provide the missing link.
