Does my infant have celiac's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Celiac disease: Celiac disease is rare in infants. Gastrointestinal symptoms more often can be caused by food allergies, ie milk, soy, egg white, wheat.

Understanding what the symptoms and the child growth and nutritional status can help understand the cause.
