Hypothetical question
Here's something dh and I have been wondering as I get the house slowly (oh, so slowly!) more gluten free.
If the kids currently have no signs of celiac (labs clear etc) and yet are genetically prone to developing it at some distant point in the future; but are taken "off" of gluten anyways for a long period of time (say, their childhood) would the later reintroduction of gluten be a stressor that could set off celiacs?
I'm sure it doesn't really matter...without correlating symptoms, I figure they can have gluten at Grandmas etc anyways, but I am curious if I'm "setting them up". Or would it actually build their system and make them less likely to develop celiacs later?
