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.
ah, by ruled out i presume you mean the blood tests were neg? not always accurate, and about 20% of biopsy proven celiacs are blood test neg......also blood tests are not going to dx gluten sensitivity....check out enterolab.....gluten is in so many processed food.....unless he is eating paleo....would be very hard to be totally free......also check grooming and cleaning products....pet food....your grooming products etc....
