Thanks for everyones replies, very interesting. I also think if you cut something out strictly as is being suggested, and then reintroduce- the body is not used to it so i wonder if symptoms are therefore more obvious? Like if any food was eliminated them reintroduced- such as dairy etc
In this case, my gastro advised us to avoid even oats labelled ‘gluten free’. The reason being is that the composition is apparently similar to gluten and thats why its advised to avoid it for 12 months initially. Only 8% of celiacs apparently have this sensitivity so i have to weigh up wether to cut it out as it is an already extremely restrictive diet for...
Thanks its just my son has no immediate symptoms. I guess im just hoping he isnt one of the 8% of celiacs allergic to avenin also. It really restricts their diet and being only 3 he is already fussy enough!!
Hi
Ive posted once before. My son is 3 and recently diagnoses with celiac. We had our gastro appt last week and the dietician advised for the first 12 months after diagnosis to avoid oats also- even gluten free version.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for the advice i really appreciate it! I agree we will all go wheat free so he doesnt view it as a punishment.
Thank you for your prompt reply! His stools definitely got better formed in the 6 days gluten free however i cant be sure if this was due to this because this coincided with him starting iron supplements also which could have impacted his bowel movements. I have now had confirmation that the blood test is tomorrow, is the endomysial antibodies test the one...
