Celiac and HELLP syndrome

[Tko2341]

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.

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.
