Hi weaners 
Has anyone heard of a nutritionist called Jill (Gill?) someone (not Rapley) who advocates excluding all potential allergens (dairy, gluten, citrus, nuts) until after the age of one, to avoid allergies in much later life?
A close friend is following this regime for her DS and I'm a bit concerned she's in danger of creating precisely the problem she's hoping to avoid - in that I've never read anything suggesting this is beneficial but have read plenty suggesting babies avoiding allergens completely seems to be linked to higher rates of allergy. Plus I am a bit
at the idea anyone could do a study showing a link to allergy in late life given most of us 70s babies were weaned before 12 weeks, and that's clearly linked to allergies, so is a major confounding factor.
However - clearly I don't know everything and perhaps I'm missing something. This woman has a website apparently but I haven't managed to turn it up on Google. Before I stick my oar in and lose my reputation as being a supportive, non-bossy friend (a lot of her friends / relatives have been quite strident in their rod-for-own-back advice so she's a bit advised out) I want to be quite sure I'm choosing something important stick my head above the parapet over...
