<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> For some time I have been trying to encourage my daughters Fiona, and Sarah, to try putting their children on a gluten-free diet, since their father and I are gluten-intolerant. On Thursday Fiona attended a midwive's refresher course in London, and spoke to a "top London dietician" who stressed the following: no one should withold gluten from the diet unless they have had the villi sample, which as you know is invasive and risky to say the least To cut out gluten in a childs' diet could cause hypersensitivity risks if they accidentally ate it with possibly disastrous consequences. So where does this leave an already sceptic mother? If she has the villi test she is endangering her child, and if she witholds gluten she is endangering her child's health. I will forward any responses to my daughter. Valerie, California
