So someone write into the ask the dr column on the Clan Thompson newsletter saying they have celiac and have an infant and want to know when to introduce that child to celiac because she's heard it's problematic to wait too long. The dr replies that 4 mos old while breastfeeding is the best time. Say WHAT?? First of all I thought it was 6 months at least to introduce solids because introducing them earlier tends to lead to allergies. But even so, I don't understand why it would be "problematic" to wait until your child is older to introduce gluten, especially if you know you are celiac and celiac is genetic. I think I would keep the kid GF as long as possible, personally. Just makes no sense to me at all. Anyway, I'm hoping someone will have more info for me about how this works. (Not mind you that I'll be having more kids, it just strikes me as really odd.) Rachel |

I remembered seeing this come through~

My two reactors were both introduced to cereal between 4 and 6 months... so it certainly did not work for us.
I'm kind of wondering how they can really come to that conclusion. It doesn't make sense to me on so many levels that I don't even know where to start!
