I've seen some messages containing discussion about keeping babies gluten
free for a time period and then later introducing gluten.  Is it at birth
that a child should be tested to see if they have the at risk HLA-markers?
Is there a general guideline or length of time a child should be kept gluten
free if they don't carry the marker because there is a chance for false
negatives...   Also, if they do carry the marker, but don't currently show
up having CD, how long do you keep them gluten free.  It is all very
confusing to me.
 
Thanks for any input.
