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!

He contestantly puts his hands in my mouth and are waiting til my older daughter (3 yrs old) gets testing all done to be completely gluten free house. He (one year old) thankfully does eat really good. Veggie and fruits.

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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
