I had hyperemesis with my first and am doing OK with the current pregnancy. Part of the problem with my first (I think) was I didn't know enough of my options for what I could eat to counter act the hyperemesis. My doctors were clueless as they told everyone "crackers" and so forth. The gluten-free crackers I like are made of nuts- not good for hyperemesis...

We've started giving her some gluten every day. I'm a celiac and am worried she may have inherited it. So far, she hasn't had any symptoms but even if she does test negative I may keep her gluten intake low until she's older. Why does the antibody test not work in young children?

My daughter has never been exposed to gluten but I want to get her tested and our labs/insurance only do the antibody test. She is 18 months old. Does anyone know how much gluten (I think it's half a slice of bread per day) and for how long she needs to be exposed before the test will work?
