How to introduce your baby to allergenic foods

What is gluten intolerance?
Gluten intolerance, also known as non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, is a food intolerance toward the protein gluten that can cause discomfort and pain after it's eaten. Not to be confused with coeliac disease - an autoimmune disease caused by gluten - the symptoms of gluten intolerance are short-lasting. By contrast, coeliac disease can have serious long-term consequences if left untreated. Both are managed through the adoption of a gluten-free diet.
