Celiac Disease and kids and Coeliac Disease in children. The symptoms of celiac disease in children generally become apparent three to five months after first consuming foods that contain gluten, although for a few cases the interval may be as short as one month. Several of the experts who advise on infant say feeding solid foods should not be introduced to a baby’s diet until almost five months old and gluten-containing cereal should be avoided during the first six months of life. Older children with more subtle symptoms of poor appetite, poor growth, and anemia are more difficult to diagnose because there are many other reasons for the lack of growth in childhood. Clinical symptoms often diminish or disappear during puberty [adolescence], although biochemical or morphological abnormalities of the celiac condition may persist. More active symptoms will reappear again in early adulthood, after the period in which the immune system appears to “give more of their attention” to sexual develop-ment. While the adolescent may feel that he or she has “grown out of the disease,” the actuality is that the condition continues and must [should] be treated with the same strict gluten free diet. As part of my ongoing series of video below you can find a video with me, Paul Smith, talking about Celiac disease and Children.
