Which gluten-free Cereal Brand Should I Use For My 5 Mnth Old?

Hi Everyone-

I have a 5 month old and I was diagnosed with celiacs when I was pregnant with her. We are going to start introducing food in a few weeks and I want to start with a gluten free rice cereal. Any recommendations on a brand I should use?

Also, when I do introduce wheat, should I start with the barley or oatmeal?

I was planning on giving her the rice cereal first and then around 6 months, start with 1/4 of teaspoon of either barley or oatmeal 2 times a week and see how she does-

Your advice would be greatly appreciated-

Cream of rice cereal is supposed to be very good for infants. I've had it with some butter and brown sugar, and it was good.

I think you should ask your pediatrician, but i've heard you should wait until they are one year old before any wheat is given. But i don't know for sure.

I think oatmeal might be easiest on the stomach, since it is originally gluten free, the only wheat she'll be getting is from cross contamination.

Like i said, double check with the doc!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Honestly it was like a solid couple of months. I started sometime in early December and the blood draw was on the 18th of Feb. Again it was almost all the time except a few days here and there with a cheat meal or even a whole day. Overall those it was a paleo diet like 98% of that time. I didn't go gluten free on purpose I was avoiding all grains and felt some aches and pains go away so I kept doing it, but then kept telling myself I needed more fiber which is why I had those cheat meals every now and then lol.

      How long had you been practicing a reduced gluten diet by the time you had the blood draw?

      I forgot to mention that I wasn’t prepared to take a celiac test so when I took this test I was pretty gluten free except for some cheat meals here and there. But I was about 98% gluten free at that point except I had gluten a few times a few days before this test by coincidence. So I probably skewed the numbers a bit by accident.

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!
