During the last week in August, Jon walked into the house to find his mom on the phone with the last specialist he’d seen, a pediatric and adolescent gastroenterologist. He flopped down next to her on the couch and watched her face, trying to glean what he could from her expression and tone. He scooted closer and wrapped his arms around her middle, waiting for her to get off the phone. Her mouth twitched upward a little on one side, her tone lightening just a bit. She turned to him and told him, “Dr. Hadar thinks you might have a couple of intolerances, and she’s pretty sure one of them is gluten.” “Gluten? What’s that?” he asked her, trying to remember if he’d ever heard the term before. “I guess it’s mostly found in grains, like wheat.” “I’m… allergic to wheat?” “…let’s wait and have Dr. Hadar explain it, honey.”
