Hi just posted in another message, but should i go gluten free to breastfeed my nine month old ceoliac. He had been fine after going gluten free then we had a slip up at a toddler group and he had the smelly poos. This has carried on now for about 3 weeks and i am beginning to fret. He is also ill with throat and ear infections at the moment too so very poorly boy.

Hi

My son (sson due) won't be coeliac 9that I know of) but it can be a risk factor for asd which we have in our family, so I have been advised to keep him totally GF until he is 3 and out of the risk category.

And sadly, I am informed by our dietician that yes, that means I go dairy free too [damn].

For a consolation prize for you at least you don't need to go dairy free too! (I would but already am in fact).

But as we already have 2 asd kids it's worth it.
