"   Question My son&amp;#039;s coeliac disease has improved on a gluten-free diet but now seems to have reached a plateau. He tires very easily. Is it still early days for him or do you think he needs further investigation. He very rarely runs around like other children of his age.   Answer Coeliac disease, as you know, is caused by sensitivity to gluten in certain cereals.  Until the condition is recognised and diagnosed, malabsorption will occur leading to the sufferer being underweight, abdominal symptoms, fatigue and general ill-health.  However, on a totally gluten-free diet, your son&amp;#039;s condition should improve completely. He should regain all his normal weight and feel well.  There may be an element of dietary deficiency that has not yet been corrected but equally there may be other explanations that require investigation.  A simple viral illness or something more chronic like glandular fever, for example, might explain the condition.  I would certainly advise you to take him back to your doctor so that some general tests can be instigated.
