The scoop with celiac is that bf promotes the growth of villi in the
baby's intestines. Celiac kills off villi. So it appears that
breastfed babies have a bit of a headstart (or artificially fed babies
have a slimmer store) in the villi department, so they can stand to
lose more and the disease takes longer to manifest.
