Allergic to gluten in the child - symptoms

The baby is growing, and each time in his behavior one can observe something new. However, if we talk about his health, then it may turn out that together with the positive moments: teething, skill to turn over or sit down, parents are faced with various diseases: gastrointestinal colic and disorders, allergies, etc. To such unexpected troubles it is possible to attribute an allergy to gluten in a child, the symptoms of which appear almost immediately. Let's see how the allergy to gluten in a child manifests itself and how it behaves to lead the parents.

Manifestation of allergy symptoms

• rash on the skin, redness and itching;
• rapid breathing;
• spasms of the gastrointestinal tract;
• dry mouth.

In this case, the doctor will consider the issue not only about the allergy, but also about the intolerance of this product.

If you notice that your baby started to gain weight badly, became moody, irritable, the skin became very pale and he constantly asks for a drink - this can be a disturbing signal. You should visit a doctor and consult for lack of allergies to gluten.

Breastfeeding, lure and gluten

Now I want to say a few words about children, up to 7 months old. In this period, begin to enter the first lure , or to supplement the baby with a mixture. Gluten is found in cereal cereals: rye, barley, wheat and oats. At the first ingestion of this protein into the body, the reaction to gluten in a child can be instantaneous. Literally 10-15 minutes after feeding, the first symptoms will already be visible: redness on articular folds, head and itching, possibly rapid breathing.

Nursing mothers ask a lot of questions about the allergies in an infant to gluten, which is found only on breastfeeding. I would like to note that this protein does not exist in breast milk, so there will not be any symptoms of allergy, if it exists.

So, an allergy to gluten in a child is quite a difficult disease. For the sake of justice, it must be said that this is a temporary phenomenon and its children, in the majority grow out at the age of 3 years. However, if you gave your kid something new to eat and he had rashes on his skin, then it's better to see a doctor.
