Dear Kathy, I wanted to share with you a case I am familiar with which reminded me of Thomas in England. A baby was diagnosed with "failure to thrive" at 19 months, having gained no weight since the age of 9 months. After a series of hospital tests nothing was found and the mother was told just to feed her more. The mother was getting messages from the medical personnel (sometimes not too subtle ones) that somehow nursing was to blame. Yes, it did turn out to be a wheat allergy. Other possibilities that had been considered were celiac disease and intolerances to barley and rye, but by the process of elimination, wheat was discovered to be the culprit. As soon as the wheat was eliminated from the child's diet, she began to gain weight. Hope this helps. Lesley Robinson, IBCLC, LLL Leader Corning, NY
