My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease by biopsy one year after the birth of her first son. He is now three years old, she has been completely faithful to a gluten free life style and is doing well. She had a miscarriage last March and now is pregnant for a baby boy to be born any day now. With her first pregnancy she consumed gluten and her child shows no symtems of gluten intolerance, he eats gluten free at home, but is exposed to gluten foods at day care and relatives homes.
My question stems from a great concern we have due to the fact that the new baby has not been exposed to any form of gluten in the womb. We have been researching this and have been informed that genetic testing for Celiac Disease is not available until the baby is one to two years old. We have also been informed that since he has not been exposed to gluten that any exposure no matter how small could cause death, heart attack, stroke or brain damage. I am looking for advice and a practical life plan. She plans on breast feeding, but in the hopefully unlikely event this fails we have only found one baby formula that is gluten free. All of the ramifications to this scenario are mind boggling. Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
