A member asked:
I have celiac disease and have a 2 month old baby. when should i get him tested?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
When Needed: I would suggest testing if the baby has symptoms such as poor growth, chronic abdominal pain or chronic diarrhea. If there are no problems, no need to create one.

No routine screening: It is only recommended to screen based on symptoms which at this age would be for poor growth.
