<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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.
