This was sent to me by another celiac.

I would like to know if anyone on the list has more information on this for
me. My son says he does not want to ask the doctor unless there is a proven
reason for doing it.

I'm assuming that the doctor will have already heard of this and would agree
to it but Russ wants to be reassured.

Rosalie,  If the delivery has not yet occurred, it might be interesting to
ask the doctor to do the testing on the umbilical cord blood - and preserve
the cord (I believe they freeze it, but I'm not sure) for future testing if
that is ever necessary.  I don't know the scientific particulars of this,
but someone on the list must know, if you are interested and have time to
ask.  Gayle K
