A 3 years kid can has celiac desease? blood test first time was positive.. after 1 year with a gluten free diet, the test was negative...

Stick with gluten: Free diet. A test may become negative after successful treatment but that does not mean cure. The child in all likelihood has gluten sensitivity. You may wish to try gluten challenge after discussion with your doctor.

Yes: The child should stay off gluten and dairy. Celiac has a genetic basis, so even 3 yo can have problems.
