EnteroLab will do a mouth swab that's very easy. Ask them how old the child needs to be in order to get an accurate test.<br /><br />At a year you can slowly introduce gluten and then do a screening saliva test (once again non-invasive) to see if there's a reaction. Cyrex Labs has a good one that will evaluate for both celiac and gluten sensitivity. Look at their site to see what age they feel their test produces accurate results.<br /><br />Let me know if this helps.<br /><br />Best,<br />Dr Vikki PetersenThe Doctors of Root Cause Medical Clinichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989001572705413241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-83774655674987359842012-07-18T23:11:34.950-07:002012-07-18T23:11:34.950-07:00I have Celiac and also have a 10 month old daughte...I have Celiac and also have a 10 month old daughter. Do you recommend introducing gluten now or wait? I have mixed feelings and have heard different things. The University of Chicago posted something about introducing gluten early to a child of a Celiac. Others say wait. I am so worried she will develop Celiac and I won't know. I'm concerned it will fester low grade as mine did. We all know regardless of symptoms, the damage is being done. I plan on having her tested every few years at least. It's just hard to find doctors that will run the test if there aren't symptoms. I don't want to post my email address on a open forum but I will check back to see your reply.

I have celiac and he, at age 10 months, tested positive for one of the less common celiac genes. i continue to breastfeed and give him probiotics in his solid food. is there anything I can do to ensure healthy gut function since he did not colonize the good bacteria in the birth canal? <br />thank you<br />leahrosen7@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
