Are We Poisoning Our Babies?
Those who read my last blog, know that I expressed concerns about Gerber’s Graduates Baby Food. Why, because of the covert way they (Gerber’s)added gluten to baby food for 7 month old babies. Most parents would not know by the labeling, that they are giving their child a recognized food allergen. Most instructions from physicians suggest that any food allergens be tested for when the child is older and under supervision. What happens when you unknowingly give your child something that he/she is allergic or intolerant to? The answer is very apparent for an allergy; there is an immediate reaction: hives, wheezing, anaphylactic shock, etc. The intolerance is more difficult to discover. First with intolerance the child must eat the substance. Then the child needs to eat it again until an intolerance is reached. It is very difficult to read reactions with intolerance, especially if it is wheat/gluten, which has up to a 72 hours (three days) reaction time. The reactions might happen in steps. First you might notice that your baby has dark circles under his/her eyes. Then the stomach might start to swell with gas. Respiratory symptoms may begin to exhibit. Your baby will become fussy and start showing negative behavior. Your baby’s health starts to change, but nothing you can put your finger on. Your baby may has some diarrhea every once in a while or very itchy hands and feet.
You decide to take the baby to the physician. If the doctor is savvy about gluten (only 1% are) he will ask you what you are feeding the baby. Your answer would be, only baby food. The doctor would then decide that it could not be the baby food, since in his experience all commercial baby food is safe, but rather something systemic. Now you have your first incorrect diagnosis because you, the parent, unknowingly gave your physician incorrect information. If the intolerance is gluten, it may possibly also be Celiac Disease, which is an autoimmune disease. More health problems will follow.
To be continued …

Your website keeps getting better and better! I’ve been following your posts for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that your older articles don’t offer as much insight as the newer ones. You have a lot more ideas and style now, your writing is constantly improving.
Keep it up! By the way, if you’re looking into placing some ads on your blog - you should really do it. Don’t go for all that 3rd party bs - Use a nice monetization tool coded by a buddy of mine which by far the best, it’s a must have plugin for any serious blogger.
You can find it at Thaidy.com/BestWordPressPlugin and give it a free test-run.
