(NBC) - Delaying the introduction of gluten to the diet, does not help prevent celiac disease among at-risk infants. Researchers divided babies who had a parent or sibling with celiac disease into an early or late gluten introduction group. They found ...

I am bummed about this. We delayed gluten, eggs, nuts, and milk until my daughter was a year old. So, far she has no issues. But the reality is that she has good chance that she will develop at least one autoimmune disease in her lifetime. Her odds are higher with celiac since both of her parents have it.

Anyway, her Ped did acknowledge that she was one of his healthiest babies as she went in for only well checks until she started preschool at age 4. So, that breastfeeding paid off!

LOL  :lol:

 

That study surprised me too. I was bottle fed and started on "solids" by the time I was a month old, and I always wondered if that kicked off my celiac disease... I guess not.  LOL

Me too! I can now stop blaming old Dr. Spock, and my poor mother who followed him back in the day!

Haha, I also read this and thought, "Well, good to know I was doomed either way!"

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
