In my own experience, breastfeeding did not prevent celiac disease in my sons. However, I do believe it helped them from being sicker. Despite very positive blood work and biopsy (my sons were 4 and 2 at diagnosis), both had minimal symptoms. In addition to breastfeeding until 20 and nearly 24 months respectively, I also gave my sons probiotics and vitamins. While I will never know, I do feel this kept them healthier despite the damage. How long that would have remained true is questionable.

I have had two more children since my sons' diagnosis and we have treated food differently. Both girls were breastfed. The oldest is three, started gluten at one year, and so far has shown no problems. The other is 10 months, still breastfeeding, and barely eats any table food. She seems to have issues with food in general. No gluten has been introduced yet with all the trouble she has with simple, supposedly low allergenic foods.<br/><br/>

I know this wine and the kangaroo is very obvious. What does this have to do with the story?<br/><br/>

It's just a cute, silly picture.<br/><br/>
