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.

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula...

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Gluten related ??

      Thank you so much for your response Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on. I'm not eating gluten as far as I know. However, I'm not sure of cross contamination. My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ??? if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease...

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula; I visualized and it felt real. The perception went away as soon as I removed the pressure on my knees, I deducted that the pressure of my elbows on the knees caused the sensation, so I repeated the position and the sensation of having the body of a tarantula happened each time. I have not had that experience since then because I started a gluten-free diet short after. I wonder if those people that look distorted to themselves in the mirror could have something similar but with the responsible sensory contacts located on their feet. I want to document this experience because it might help some research or others, it sounds crazy but I feel the right thing to do is to share it.
