Runny nose - is it a cold or is it bread?

[nsmum]

Hi,
I was wanting to run this by you guys for your advice. My 8MO DD has had a runny nose for around 6 days - clear but no other cold symptoms. I introduced bread (organic wholemeal bread) with a bit of vegemite (I'm an aussie  ) - there is wheat intolerance on my side of the family (not allergy) so is this something I should watch with her over the next few days? There are alot of colds going around and the weather has been cold and wet so it could be a cold but I'm not sure. What is a good bread that caters for wheat intolerance's that I could give to her at this age?

Thanks

It could be either - does she have any other intolerance symptoms? If not, I might wait a few more days and see. If she still has a runny nose, stop the bread and see if it clears up. I know they do make wheat/gluten free breads but not sure what brands or how they taste - do you have an organic market or the like near you?

I'll keep at eye on her for the next few days but no other symptoms that I can see. Yes there is an organic store near me - i had her on organic wholemeal sourdough. Thanks for the advice.
