Should your child be gluten free if you are? It may seem unfair to be so restrictive on your child if there is no apparent need, but here is an argument for it.<\/p>\n
There are many reasons to go on a gluten free diet, and that is the first place to start, then we will see if it is worth imposing the same on your children.<\/p>\n
There are many reasons people go gluten free.\u00a0 The worst reason is because it is a fad.\u00a0 See\u00a0The Gluten Free Fad on this website.\u00a0 Just because famous people are doing it, doesn’t mean to say you have to.\u00a0 On the other hand, the gluten free industry will thank you for it, so carry on.<\/p>\n
If you are celiac however, it is a different story.\u00a0 In this case, you must go on a strict gluten free diet for life, no exceptions, no cheating, unless you want to risk ill health and a shortened life.<\/p>\n
For those with a gluten allergy or gluten sensitivity, you are pretty much driven to a gluten free diet by your symptoms.\u00a0 If you don’t have anything too bothersome, you might quite happily cheat on occasion, often, or all the time.<\/p>\n
Now how about your children.\u00a0 Should they go gluten free too?<\/p>\n
If you’re doing it because it is a fad, I would say, probably not.\u00a0 You will only make life difficult for them, and have them run into all sorts of awkward situations at school.<\/p>\n
If you have celiac disease, then there is a higher chance they too will have celiac disease.\u00a0 Perhaps you should wait until they are older before introducing gluten-containing foods such as wheat, oats, barely and rye, and then consider getting them tested after about a year of gluten ingestion, or right away if they develop celiac disease symptoms.<\/p>\n
If you have a gluten allergy, I suggest you also consider keeping them off of gluten.\u00a0 There is a chance that gluten will cause them to develop a leaky gut syndrome, causing all sorts of problems, including autism.\u00a0 See Gluten Free Diet, Autism and Leaky Gut Syndrome on this website.<\/p>\n
