Can gluten pass through into your breastmilk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Gluten can pass through breast milk, just as other proteins pass through breast milk. Cows milk protein can pass through breast milk as well. Newborns can be allergic to cows milk, gluten, soy, shellfish because of the proteins that pass through the breastmilk.
