Check out this great article on a series of new studies investigating whether celiac disease can be prevented by limiting certain environmental factors in children at high risk for the disease, such as those born to parents who both have celiac.
Researchers already know that it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors that trigger celiac disease, but they are now going further to research effects of gluten on infants. They have found that it is not only how early babies are exposed to gluten that can trigger celiac, but also how much and, even how they are delivered.
