Wow! Thank you to the over60 people who responded to my questions! There
were several people who asked for a summary so here goes:

The consensus is that Robert (4 months) has between a 5% and 25%  chance
of have Celiac just like Pamela (3 years). Most of you that have more
than one child, your CD kid is the only one. However, there are some
that have more than one CD kid.

EVERYONE told me to wait on the gluten for at least year. Most of you
said to wait two years. This is to give Robert the chance to develop
normally in that crucial time of his life where everything is getting
fine tuned. The general thought is that an early diagnosis is not as
important as the development (duh).

As for teething biscuits:  There are a few GF ones that people knew of
but no one could remember the brands. The suggestions I received ranged
from frozen washcloths to cold carrots to frozen GF bagels. The best one
that BOTH of my munchins like is: Cut bananas into 2-3inch sections and
freeze. It gives the same gooey mess that glutenous teething biscuits
gives (read: Great baby pictures!!)  but it is a snack that they both
can share! (Thanks Mia!)

Once again, Thank you to all that replied.

Shannon
