Introducing Baby Cereal

My husband and I have a 6 month old baby. He just turned six months on Oct. 27. We are trying to figure out when and how is the best way to introduce foods that aren't gluten free? There is baby oat cereal and barley but I'm nervous about introducing them since I have celiac disease. My husband is allergy free. Any tips?

You could do what we did with our second son since our first has celiac...we had the genetic blood work done so we would have an idea of what we were working with. We figured that if he had the genes we would be on the look out for any symptoms but if he didn't we wouldn't be panicking at any little bit of D and fussiness.

Since my son has Celiac we never did introduce our 14 month old daughter to other cereals besides rice. I just didn't want to risk my daughter getting ill like my son did. She still has never had gluten. She eats all the same foods we eat. Our home is gluten free.

Dr. Green talks about bf, celiac, and babies in his book "Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic" - particularly pages 73, 75-76 - and discusses the Swedish study as well.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
