I was called to consult on a case in which the baby has issues that might affect breastfeeding. But, coincidentally, during the consult, the mother told me that she has been diagnosed with celiac disease and the doctor told her that breastfeeding (this is her 4th child - all previous children were breastfed) did not cause the celiac but breastfeeding can trigger celiac if mother is prone to it. The mother is determined to breastfeed this current baby. I have read about breastfeeding being benificial to a child with celiac but I don't have any info re: maternal celiac being 'triggered' by breastfeeding. Any thoughts????
