Breastfeeding and antibodies

I am not a fully diagnosed celiac. I am waiting on the biopsy still.

My question is do the antibodies pass through breast milk? Also, can gluten itself pass through breast milk?

My little guy is 10 months old and is being referred to a GI doc because he is having chronic diarrhea. I have noticed that when I am having issues from what I am eating, he is having his issues as well. one of the times it actually resulted in him passing blood and staying in the hospital overnight.

 

How likely is it that my issues are causing his issues? Or maybe we have the same issue? Does anyone have any insight or thoughts?

Yes gluten passes into breast milk. Your baby could be having issues with gluten or your antibodies. My baby spits up and gets gas if I have been contaminated. My 2 year old is also a diagnosed celiac. So I am thinking baby will have to be watched carefully as he shows reactivity to.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
