Thank You - For your responses regarding the question of whether Gluten
passing from mother to baby via breast milk is harmful.  We received 28
responses and basically the message from the respondents , mostly
mothers out there was stay away from Gluten when breast feeding just to
be safe.  However, every doctor we spoke to assured us that Gluten does
not pass through breast milk. Yesterday my wife spoke to a renowned
Celiac Specialist at UCLA and he said that Gluten does not pass through
breast milk. He also said that if the baby is breast feeding and has
been successfully, then my wife does not even need to stay away from
dairy as well.  He said that there is lactose in the breast milk
regardless of whether my wife is eating dairy.  We aren't sure if our
daughter is even allergic to dairy but rather the dairy couldn't be
digested due to the celiac.  The doctor seems to think the baby is not
allergic to dairy. According to the last doctor we spoke to, my wife can
eat gluten and eat dairy without any adverse affect to our celiac
child.  Most of the respondents would disagree with the "experts".
