Did you know that bed wetting (or day wetting), tummy aches, colic, not sleeping well, being a “difficult baby,” being cranky, having congestion, and fatigue can all point to a gluten intolerance?
Did you know that autoimmune disorders are linked to gluten-intolerance?
Is your child not a very good eater or picky eater? This too can point to gluten-sensitivity.
Here is a link to a great article about a mom’s decision to put her children on a gluten-free diet. The improvements in the children’s health are remarkable. Her son, who couldn’t keep up with the other kids on the soccer team, can now outrun them all! She herself has MS (muscular sclerosis), an autoimmune disorder, and has found much relief because of her GF diet. I dare say, by getting gluten out of her children’s diet, she may have prevented a possible development of MS in her kids. We will never know for sure, but we all know the tendency to develop the same diseases that our parents/relatives have.
Finally, parents, after you read this article, I BEG YOU to switch to a GF diet for your children if they suffer from similar problems. It is our responsibility as parents to care for our kids, and if that means they would be better off on a GF diet, then the effort and expense are totally worth it.
