The Authors have performed a study on the dietary habits of 74 celiac children and have analysed retrospectively the type of nursing (breast-feeding or bottle-feeding), the time and the age of gluten introduction. Then they related these data to the age of onset of symptoms. Children breast-fed for 3 months or more showed a marked delay in the onset of the disease and a longer latency time from gluten introduction when compared with bottle-fed children; on the contrary early gluten introduction was not positively correlated to risk of celiac disease. This observations induce to think that breast-feeding may be a protective factor towards coeliac disease, while the precocious gluten introduction is not an important factor of risk correlated to this disease.
作者对74名乳糜泻儿童的饮食习惯进行了一项研究，并回顾性分析了喂养方式（母乳喂养或奶瓶喂养）、麸质引入的时间和年龄。然后他们将这些数据与症状出现的年龄相关联。与奶瓶喂养的儿童相比，母乳喂养3个月或更长时间的儿童疾病发作明显延迟，麸质引入后的潜伏期更长；相反，早期引入麸质与乳糜泻风险没有正相关。这些观察结果促使人们认为母乳喂养可能是预防乳糜泻的一个保护因素，而过早引入麸质并不是与该疾病相关的重要风险因素。
