Does Diet During Pregnancy Have Any Impact on Celiac Disease Risk in Infants?
Celiac.com 07/18/2018 - Despite many studies on immune development in children, there still isn’t much good data on how a mother’s diet during pregnancy and infancy influences a child’s immune development. A team of researchers recently set out to assess whether changes in maternal or infant diet might influence the risk of allergies or autoimmune disease.
The team included Vanessa Garcia-Larsen, Despo Ierodiakonou, Katharine Jarrold, Sergio Cunha, Jennifer Chivinge, Zoe Robinson, Natalie Geoghegan, Alisha Ruparelia, Pooja Devani, Marialena Trivella, Jo Leonardi-Bee, and Robert J. Boyle.
They are variously associated with the Department of Undiagnosed Celiac Disease More Common in Women and Girls International Health, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryla...

Being Pregnant with Celiac Disease: What does it Mean to the Fetus?
Celiac.com 09/01/2018 - Celiac disease is a common disease triggered by gliadin exposure in genetically sensitive individuals. It has long been known that untreated celiac disease is associated with intestinal malabsorption, but it is also associated with ongoing inflammation. This inflammation may have adverse effects on the uptake of important nutrients. This is probably the underlying reason for the increased risk of osteoporosis demonstrated in patients with celiac disease. Malabsorption and ongoing inflammation in untreated celiac disease could also potentially have a negative effect on fetal development.
Several reports have indicated an adverse effect of untreated celiac disease on pregnancy outcome. We set out to use the national registers of Sweden to:

High Fiber During Pregnancy Lowers Celiac Risk for Children
Celiac.com 06/24/2019 - A team of researchers recently set out to assess whether maternal diet during pregnancy plays any role in the later development of celiac disease in their children.
Among other things, they found that moms who eat a high-fiber diet during pregnancy could reduce the chances of their children getting celiac disease later on, according to a new study, which is one of the first to investigate the link between fiber intake during pregnancy and children's risk of celiac disease.
In the study, a team of researchers analyzed information from more than 88,000 Norwegian children and their mothers, who gave birth between 1999 and 2009. The research team included Dr. Ketil Størdal, a research professor at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and a pediatric g...

Pregnancy: Gluten Sensitivity and Your Child’s Brain Development
Celiac.com 02/07/2020 - Gluten sensitivity during pregnancy can profoundly impact fetal brain development. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley.
Many people who have a gluten intolerance may also have other food sensitivities to common antigens like corn, soy, dairy, and sugar. Many times, without a histamine response like hives, people can be blissfully unaware of their food sensitivity.
Studies have shown gluten sensitivity destroys brain and nervous tissue more than any other tissue in the body, and is linked to a number of other neurological disorders. (Read my blog Gluten Intolerance Testing for more information about this.)
Eating Gluten During Pregnancy May Potentially Put Your Child At Risk

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  It will not undo all of the healing. If it did, diagnosis of celiac disease would be much easier! To have enough damage to see on an endoscopy requires several weeks of gluten ingestion.

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back...

  Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?
  
  Here is an excerpt from this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82695: Studies have shown that various peptidases of fungal, plant, animal, or bacterial origin are able to hydrolyze gluten into harmless peptides. According to SDS‐PAGE pattern, proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze gliadins (Heredia‐Sandoval et al., 2016; Scherf et al., 2...

  Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....
  
  There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is...
