Gluten sensitivity in kids rarely looks like a stomachache after a slice of bread. More often it shows up as eczema, disrupted sleep, low iron, or meltdowns that seem to come out of nowhere, with nothing obvious pointing back to food. In our clinic, we look at gluten through the lens of gut permeability and inflammation, not just celiac testing, because the mechanism that matters for most families isn't autoimmune at all.
This guide walks you through what gluten actually does in the body, how to tell whether a reduction or a full elimination makes sense for your child, and the real-food swaps that make gluten-free livable instead of overwhelming. If you've wondered whether gluten could be behind what your child is dealing with, this is the place to start.
