From what I know there isn’t many tests you can actually do unfortunately. For us we wanted to test if she had the allergy but she would need like a poop to send in but at that point we were barely doing dairy anyway. I’m not sure what else you could do for the gluten but is it possible for you to still use some with him not eating it? Or can he not even be in the same room as it being prepared?

He is celiac so he can not have even cross contamination and with littles throwing food there is a high risk of that. And if I try to make anything it has to be gf as it can be air born and stay on pots and pans and make it where hubby can not use those things or anything in kitchen to eat with. We did a poo study. That was at 9 months old and when the doctor told us it was a milk protein allergy. but the thing I wanted her tested for was the gene for celiac as we were diagnosed with failure to thrive and that can be something that happens with celiac.

Are you able to go to a parents house or something and do the milk ladder there so your husband isn't about and it can't be contaminating his food and home

Both of our parents leave at least an hour away but I can definitely try. We have started the highly processed dairy which has not been terrible the only reaction she has is runny bm not rash or anything. I tried some lactose free milk this morning as my hubby is lactose intolerant and wondered if that would be ok.

@Gaylin is there a friend you could ask to use their house instead?
Lactose is completely different to cmpa as lactose is sugars and cmpa is proteins so lactose free milk wouldn't help a cmpa baby unfortunately
My partner is also lactose intolerant and we have found some tablets milkaid not sure if they're in us but they've helped him to have dairy but again not suitable for cmpa

He takes Lactaids when he has dairy and They help. I can try my friends house for the milk ladder I didn’t even think of that. Thank you

Interesting there’s a blood test for celiac. We had my son tested for it and he didn’t have a problem but they were able to test it.

@Gaylin ah that must be the us version at least he can have that!
No problem at least it'll be easier for you to do the milk ladder with baby and you haven't got to worry

I have asked since her on week check up because my husband has the gene and it did activate. I told her I just wanted to know if she had a risk of having it. The pediatrician refused and said not till she is a year and then told me I didn’t need to give gluten to her if I was super worried about it. I tried to breastfeed but was not producing enough and I noticed when I would eat gluten my little girl would get extra fussy. So I looked it up gluten can cross the barrier from me to breast milk. Pediatrician said could/ sounds like a gluten problem but still didn’t want to test till at least a year old. Thankfully I started at a daycare and she is eating gluten and not super fussy but also only has had like three solid bms in her whole life.

gotcha. Well that for sure is super annoying. I mean I don’t think gluten is necessary in a diet. And neither is dairy but I would say dairy is a little more important. I’m not even sure what or how to milk ladder works. I havnt looked into it yet. But I would say if you don’t even eat gluten then just stay away from it at home but if you go to friends or family or daycare then let them use it. Get some gluten free bread and try different dairy things on there when she can

Maybe find another pediatrician if you can that’s more open to talking about things. We switched from one who wasn’t super into breastfeeding and chiropractor stuff to a pediatrician that would listen and help us more.
