Small Window For Preventing Celiac Disease?

I just read that there appears to be a small window where, if you feed your baby wheat/gluten... at about 4-6 months... you may be able to PREVENT future celiac disease???

I told my kids that they were screwed... cause I went out of my way NOT to give them foods that are common to allergies. I didn't give them eggs, wheat, milk, citrus, or meat until they were a whole year old.

It's an interesting idea and I'll look forward to reading more about it. Has anyone else heard about this??

Actually, I did hear about this just recently on the news. However, the doctor talking about it said to keep in mind that it was just a small study and not yet conclusive. The docter was Dr. Art Hister, he also has Celiac disease and lives on the West Coast of British Columbia. Either Vancouver or one of the other lower mainland cities. I believe he has a web site, but don't at the moment have time to look for it. You might find the article there.

I followed the ped. advice at the time and intorduced the gluten foods at the proper "window". It didn't help my kids any. They are on a gluten free diet for life. One has been diagnosed the other hasn't, but has very bad things happen when he eats gluten.

I've never head about that before and it is interesting. I personally don't think it would prevent the disease but maybe be used as a tool to help prevent it. It definately would not help people born with celiac disease.

I took celiac3270's advice and got on Google's Alerts for celiac. There were several recent articles about this. The other thing they kept repeating was that gluten should be introduced in small amounts a little each day instead of a bowl at a time. Mine were all introduced at about that 4-6 month time frame with dairy introduced much later. So far one of the three is diagnosed. We shall see what the future holds.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the...

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
