Should I Eat gluten-free While Preg. Im Not Celiac But Youngest Is

I just found out that I am preg. my daughter has celiac and was wondering if I should eat gluten-free while preg. Anyone know anything about this? I am not celiac nor is my husband. We are not sure where she got it from. No one in the family has it. So I was wondering if I should eat gluten-free.

We just found out last year about my daughter, she is now 2 1/2yrs.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have 3 other children from a previous marriage that are not celiac.

Thanks!!

I can't remember ever seeing any evidence that how you eat will affect whether or not the baby has celiac.

if you're not celiac, then your body will process all of the gluten, and you don't have to worry about your little one. The only way that it could hurt the baby if it does have celiac is for the baby to ingest it, which it can't do anyway. :) So relax, and enjoy that food!

LOL! I'm pregnant and wondering the same thing!

2 babies (not diagnosed, but confirmation in response to diet changes) (ages 4 and 2) are gluten intolerant and/or celiac and I'm pregnant with Baby #3. We've all be gluten-free (minus husband) for 3 months, and after the episodes we had with our youngest getting sick, I don't think I'm going to go back on gluten after his next baby is born - just in case he/she does have the same probs. For us, it's not worth watching the possible weight loss etc issues. The gluten does travel through breastmilk, so if you want gluten, you better fill up now before baby is born if you plan to breastfeed. :)

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you for your response. It has some good information for me to investigate further. In answer to your question about Vit D, yes, and it was normal. I am having the B12 level done today. Additionally, I am going to have a urine to test for iodine, after a correlation with it to dermatitis herpetiformis was mentioned in another post. I had read that in my research as well. I am praying that I don’t have that! The dietary restrictions, esp when combined with eating gluten free are horrendous! Talk about malnutrition! Anyway, one step, one day at a time. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself. Not easy.
