Turns out he has celiac disease, with all of the classic symptoms described in your article. Never once was there any mention of celiac by any doctor we visited, and there were many.

It was clear to me after reading your article that we needed to change his diet, starting immediately. Long story short, my son has been off gluten for a little over a year and is thriving.

Smart shopping

■ Products are scheduled to be available during the period of The Connection’s issue date.

■ All ads indicate whether a product is available in the warehouse, on Costco.com or both.

■ Prices are usually not listed in the advertising because they have not been finalized at the time of printing and may vary from one part of the country to another due to shipping costs. We hope that members know to check Costco first when comparison shopping.

■ To keep prices low, Costco does not offer a telephone service allowing members to call in for prices or product availability.
