I completely agree with you . Giving a young infant a substance

like gluten before the GI has a chance to mature is the best way to

screw it up. I recommend an even more strict first solids protocol

than the WAPF b/c of the insane amount of kids I see with messed up

guts. Very close to 100%.

No gluten till 2 then ONLY sprouted or fermented gluten containing

grains till 3 is what I recommend.

can you give more info on this research? I know of moms who will wait until a

child is 1-2

years old before introducing any gluten.

Carolyn,

No, I don't have any further info unfortunately. I thought I'd throw

it out there so that someone who it might effect could do the research.

I didn't want to withhold the information because I would certainly

want to know this if I was still of childbearing age.

When my daughter was four months old an MD told us that there was some

sort of research out there that if you introduced certain food between

4 and 6 months, that the baby would be less likely to be allergic or

sensitive. I didn't get all the information because everything in my

" mom instincts " told me this was wrong and I didn't follow her advice.

history. The period of history when humans have consumed grains and

up until food manufacturers began distorting our food is the time

period I would look at.
