Recently my husband has been noticing our nearly 2 year old having staring spells (he stays home with the kids). I was off last week and shocked at the fact that it seemed he had these every day, at least once per day. My mom waswith us for one of them and she said she really believes it to be petit mal seizures. So, I didn't sleep well that night searching all I could regarding the seizures until I could call the doctor's office to proceed. While researching it online and possible natural treatments, I came across the gluten connection. The next day we went to the store and bought some gluten free goodies, cereal and produce. Since I breastfeed and he doesn't show signs of wanting to wean, I told my husband that I must also go gluten free. I keep on researching and am wondering if the neuropathy I've had my whole life and my terrible eczema may also be related.

One thing is for sure, since changing my son's diet to gluten-free he is a completely different child. He no longer is cranky 75-90% of his waking hours. His vocabulary has boomed (he was talking before, but wow, overnight it seems he's doubled the words he can say). This is a whole new world and I would have never believed there could have been this dramatic of a change, I was just hoping it would stop the seizures until we get to a doctor.
