the gluten free diet takes some practice...it could be that he hasnt been thorough enough, especially because it includes barley and rye as well...good luck

Thanks for the heads up about the celiacs thread, I will certainly check it out. I want to make it clear, though, that ben does NOT have celiacs disease...it was ruled out. He is extroardinarily vigilant about avoiding all food with even a hint of gluten, and yet he still has these seizure like symptoms quite often. I'm not saying there is no relationship between his diet and the symptoms, as we know that gluten does make it worse, but there is obviously a broader cause or else he would not have seizure like activity since he strictly avoids all foods containing any amount of gluten.
