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!

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.

      I’m so confused…

      Be sure to bring this up with your doctor, as there is always the possibility that you've got other issues besides celiac disease.

      Thank you - I am fighting the good fight. I feel like when I see improvement then I go back downhill again.  What I do know is if I can’t get past this fatigue and loss of appetite I’m heading for problems.

      Sprouts packaged roasted, salted nuts - says "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      I never buy any nuts from a facility that processes wheat.  It’s not worth the risk.  Surprisingly, Trader Joe’s nuts do not come a factory that processes wheat, and I do not react to them.  I am sensitive to gluten.

      Test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
