Breastfeeding question

Does baby's salvia pass to mom while breastfeeding? I know babies salvia stimulates what kind of breastmilk to make. My one year old ate a bunch of pasta and I then nursed him right after, I do not tolerate gluten, I'm most likely celiac and trying to find the source of not feeling well last night.

A celiac has to ingest gluten in order to get sick.  You might have a wheat allergy, but that is different.    As a celiac, I would not feed my baby gluten.  There are too many other great  healthy foods for baby.  Not giving baby gluten will help protect you from gooey fingers and sloppy kisses, and drool that can be smeared on you  or your home and accidentally ingested.  

I give my 14 year old access to gluten, but outside of my home.  She gets a daily dose for three months prior to her getting a celiac blood test (every 2 to 3 years).  She is careful to wash her hands when she returns home.   

Think about a gluten-free home or clean up baby prior to snuggling or nursing if you suspect gluten is your problem.  Keep gluten in a controlled area.  Kids only eat food or drink  in my kitchen while in a high chair or at their mini picnic table, or kitchen table with the family.  My mom and grandma did the same -- not to avoid gluten, but a mess!

He contestantly puts his hands in my mouth and are waiting til my older daughter (3 yrs old) gets testing all done to be completely gluten free house. He (one year old) thankfully does eat really good. Veggie and fruits.

Then you have your answer.  You were most likely to have been glutend by gooey gluteny (is that a word?) baby hands!  Hope you feel better soon.

It is proven that the suction does pull some saliva into the breast however this would not get into your digestive tract.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
