<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thank you to EVERYONE who has responded to my plea for help with my 2-year-old celiac son and six-month-old healthy daughter. In time I will respond to each of you. (I still have many questions, so brace yourselves!) Here are a few things that I have learned: - Celiacs must be stringent about adhering to a gluten-free diet. - Breastfeed, breastfeed, breastfeed! It may give some protection. - Nursing moms of celiacs or their siblings should also go gluten- free; proteins do pass into the breast milk - Delay the introduction of solids for as long as possible (6 to 9 mos., unless the babe is "starving") - Go extra slow with the introduction of solids to a celiac sib - Do not introduce gluten until at least 12 mos. (some say 24) - Making your own food is cheaper, tastes better I've been told that God never gives us any more of a challenge than we can handle. Let me tell you that my hubby and I have certainly been challenged to become the best parents we can. Evan is already improving. Our efforts are more than worth it. QUESTION: Can anyone refer me to high-calorie recipes? Evan must gain weight! ...Pam
