Celiac/Gluten issues

Anyone have a child with celiac/other gluten issues?  What were LO's symptoms? What was the diagnosis/testing like?

I'm worried about my 16m old son. We've noticed anytime he has wheat he gets diarrhea and for a while he had a eczema-like rash on his chest/back that went away when we stopped giving him toast/etc every day. We aren't super strict about it though, and so I'm sure he gets gluten a few times a week. Also, his poop is consistently littered with partially digested food and often mucousy.

Prior to solids, he was EBF and never had these issues, and I don't think it's a milk/soy allergy since I eat yogurt/cheese daily. Although we don't drink milk because neither H/I like it. He hasn't had ciows milk directly, still nurses/expressed breastmilk, although he has yogurt or cheese a few times a week. 

We are switching drs because we aren't happy with his old pedi, he goes in on Jan 3rd to see the new dr and I plan to talk about this with him but I am curious what other people have experienced.  Thanks!

DD is allergic to wheat. She had very bad eczema when it was still in her system but no hives or other allergic reactions. She does break out in hives w dairy and nuts. It was confirmed w skin and blood testing so we know it's an allergy, not just an intolerance. While our pedi has been supportive of everything, I don't feel like he caught her symptoms as early as he should. I try and remember that he's an expert at some things, but not food allergies.
