<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I read with interest the two posts regarding the above. I am a breastfeeding activist and asked my friend who has access to breastfeeding medical research to search for an answer to the following questions that were posed. Asked by S. Christie; Can I be passing glutin on to him, should I be gf also? If so, why wouldn't breast fed infants have real Celiac problems before actual exposure to glutin? My friend found that Breastfeeding is beneficial to a CD baby/child and there is no studies showing that a mother should avoid gluten in her diet. Her conclusions show so far that breastfeeding is protective re: gluten and the CD child and no indications for the mother to avoid gluten. She is accessing an article that talks about the exact mechanism in breastmilk that can protect a child from CD or lessen the severity of the disease. When I find out more about this I can post it or send it privately. So this would also suggest that breastfeeding is keeping him healthy and wean only when you and your child are ready. And, of course, if a mother has CD she should avoid gluten. Also Lorraine Dowdle mentioned she can get candida or thrush sometimes and it is controlled with acidopholous. I suggest that any thing that compromises our immune system such as CD would create the idea breeding ground for yeast. I have info that can help thrush too ,if you would like it, Lorraine. You can email if you want this info. Hope this helps, Barbara Cieslak-Sydor Calgary, Alberta wife to Gene who has CD and mom to 3 children
