A must read for parents of Celiac Kids

I want this blog to be a place for parents to be able to not only relate, but to find tangible pieces of information they can also use.

One bit of information I'd like to share is this great article entitled "Celiac Disease in Children."

It's a bit outdated, but aside from a few facts to glaze over (*like introducing solid foods at "nearly five months"), the information is still valid.

If you don't have time to read it now, bookmark it and make a promise to sit down and go through it later. For those with experience dealing with Celiac, most is just a refresher. But for those who have just received a diagnosis, or are perhaps trying to determine what is wrong with their child, it's a great place to start.

***Experts now recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, if possible, and gradual introduction of solids from that point on. It's also recommended to wait until 12 months of age (or when recommended by your health provider) before introducing gluten to your child's diet, regardless of family history. Please refer here and here for current information on the subject.
