Need Some Reassurance...celiac And Pg

Hi everyone,

My name is Christine. 6 weeks ago I posted about accidentally eating barley flour. Believe it or not I didn't even get any reaction!

I have subclinical Celiac Disease, diagnosed via bloodtest in 01 but have ALWAYS had negative biopsies. Have responded REALLY well to the diet.

I am now 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby GIRL and have lately been wondering, is there anything to worry about related to Celiac Disease and the pregnancy from this point forward?

I had a full term loss last Spring and am just so nervous. Just looking for some reassurance that everything will be okay and that there is nothing I should worry about in relation to Celiac Disease and the baby.

Thanks everyone,

Christine

I recommend telling your doctor about your concern at your next appointment.

I was pregnant last year, my baby was small but healthy. I didn't know I had a problem and ate gluten in excess the whole time and was super sick and vomiting the whole time. I even continued to lose weight in the last month and dropped 6 pounds. In the nineth month! She was a small girl and shocked all the doctors. Born @ 5lbs 10oz and 17.5 inches long. As for tellig you it will be alright... I can tell you I will pray, or that I think you should be fine. I am not a doctor and haven't had this long enough to know what kind of consequences eating gluten can do while pregnant. Except make you sick.

I am sorry for your loss. After what you've endured, nervousness would be expected.

That said, I had three healthy pregnancies before I was diagnosed. I had been symptomatic for about five years before my first pregnancy but no one could figure it out. The smallest baby I had was just under seven pounds. All were healthy and strong from the beginning. I got really sick with the third but still he grew fine and I went to term with him.

Thanks for sharing girls. I just think that there is nothing to will truly ease my mind until this baby is in my arms---healthy and SCREAMING. !

:) Thank you for your reassurance.

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      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.
