hI...YOUR KID'S WEIGHT IS VERY GOOD. SO UNLIKELY TO BE A MANOR ILLNESS.
Usually kids with celiac disease will be failing to thrive and the weight and height both will be less than the age expected normals. This is not the case in your kid.
I appreciate your giving the information about weight and height in advance.
The possibility I put forth could be a - IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME.
I suggest you get back to your pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist with this clinical tip.
