Hi, everyone. I've noticed the thread on wheat free grains and decided that there are at least two of you here battling with some of my same issues (and then some) so I would toss out my current problem to you.

I believe I have celiac disease. My father was diagnosised with it about two years ago and after he was confirmed, I began to go through the testing procedure myself. My blood work indicated problems in that direction, although I did not have a classic presentation. I cut back on gluten and my biopsy was normal. The GI told me to go back to eating normally and when I did the world fell apart and I now can not tolerate any amount of gluten in my body. So I am officially undiagnosised, but am eating a gluten free diet.

My toddler was already eating gluten by the time I went through all of this, and he seems to be doing ok. But now I have an almost eight month old baby. I nurse him and he has started solids. He is basically following my own diet so far. My question is, when should I introduce gluten and see what happens?
