Introducing Gluten to a Toddler

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with celiac disease when my second daughter (N) was four months

old. At the time, I was told that blood testing for celiac was unreliable in

children below the age of two; consequently, I decided to keep her diet

gluten-free until she was older.

N is now nearly two. I've had both girls genetically tested, and N carries a

copy of DQ2. I'd like to start introducing gluten into her diet now that she is

old enough to monitor. Has anyone else done this before? I've met with two

celiac specialists (including a pediatric specialist), but both stated that

there are no established guidelines for this sort of thing. Any feedback would

be appreciated.
