Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concern. Elevated lymphocytes do not suggest anything specific. Even though raised Ig E levels signify allergy its not very specific.
Gluten sensitivity has been under study as cause of autism but its not proved yet.
Under the DAN protocol used for treatment of autism they advise gluten free and caisen free diet
I would sugget you to put him on gluten and caisen free diet for three months and see the results. Also stop foods with preservatives and added colours.
I would like to know the exact value of Tsh
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
