Jennifer Tow stated: "It makes a lot of sense for the mom to avoid gluten
while breastfeeding, given that the dad has the condition." While agreeing
in delaying intro of small amounts of gluten till appropriate timing, I
disagree with the above statement. In my country we have been started
screening for celiac disease well before than in the US (as a matter of
fact I remember the title of an american article reading *Where have all
the American celiac children gone?* well, they simply did not look for
them...) and we carry a mathematically calculated incidence of CD of 1:100
people. I would be very cautious advicing mom avoiding wheat etc when
there is CD case in the family, since such an advice would represent only
another barrier to breastfeeding.
