Celiac and HELLP syndrome

Hi. I’m just curious if there is any correlation between Celiac disease and HELLP syndrome. I had that with my 13 year old. She was also growth restricted and only weighed a little over 3 pounds when born at 34 weeks. I was only diagnosed with celiac disease a week ago and am just curious. I did not have the same issue with my second pregnancy.

I found this article that connects vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies to HELLP.  Celiacs often suffer from malabsorption which results in malnutrition and vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Hope this helps.

I know this was posted awhile ago but I was searching for a link between the two diseases and found this post. My son is 13 1/2 now and was born emergency c-section due to hellp syndrome. Afterward my ANA levels were tested and they came back high with a pattern for lupus but I have no autoimmune symptoms. I read a study that said these levels being high can indicate gluten sensitivity. Afterward I had two other pregnancies which were healthy other than small amounts of protein in urine towards the end of them. My son always had issues with eczema and after some random vomiting, behavior and other issues we decided to go gluten free. (4 1/2 years ago) The eczema and other issues cleared up. He is positive for HLA DQ8 but we have never put him on wheat since then to try and get a positive antibody test.

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
