Breast-feeding reduces risk of celiac disease
22nd Nov 2005, 22:30 GMT
It appears that breast-feeding lowers the risk of developing celiac disease, a common gastrointestinal problem caused by intolerance to a grain protein called gluten, according to a report in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. As lead investigator Dr. Tony Akobeng said, “breast-feeding at the time of solid food introduction significantly reduces the risk of celiac disease.” Moreover, “the longer a baby is breast-fed, the more likely (the child) will not develop symptoms of celiac disease.”
