Breastfeeding question

Does baby's salvia pass to mom while breastfeeding? I know babies salvia stimulates what kind of breastmilk to make. My one year old ate a bunch of pasta and I then nursed him right after, I do not tolerate gluten, I'm most likely celiac and trying to find the source of not feeling well last night.

A celiac has to ingest gluten in order to get sick.  You might have a wheat allergy, but that is different.    As a celiac, I would not feed my baby gluten.  There are too many other great  healthy foods for baby.  Not giving baby gluten will help protect you from gooey fingers and sloppy kisses, and drool that can be smeared on you  or your home and accidentally ingested.  

I give my 14 year old access to gluten, but outside of my home.  She gets a daily dose for three months prior to her getting a celiac blood test (every 2 to 3 years).  She is careful to wash her hands when she returns home.   

Think about a gluten-free home or clean up baby prior to snuggling or nursing if you suspect gluten is your problem.  Keep gluten in a controlled area.  Kids only eat food or drink  in my kitchen while in a high chair or at their mini picnic table, or kitchen table with the family.  My mom and grandma did the same -- not to avoid gluten, but a mess!

Then you have your answer.  You were most likely to have been glutend by gooey gluteny (is that a word?) baby hands!  Hope you feel better soon.

It is proven that the suction does pull some saliva into the breast however this would not get into your digestive tract.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
