Pregnancy

Ok so this is my story after a long and hard pregnancy in 2008 and then pancreatitis and a gallbladder removal i was diagnosed with celiacs through two tissue samples and a blood test. Since then my family and I have all been gluten free, and while i have accidentally glutinized myself a few times along the way I have rarely had any symptoms and in fact have felt healthier than I have ever in my life. This weekend I found out I was pregnant and was either threatening to miscarry or already had, i have to go back in tom for another HcG blood test.I've done some research and i know there is a link between miscarriages and celiacs although it seems no one knows why. but i guess when you have a disease that you have to explain to most doctors because they don't know what it is i guess i shouldn't be surprised. so my question is does anyone who has had a successful pregnancy have any ideas on what i can do to improve my chances for a viable pregnancy next time.

I am sorry to hear you may have miscarried. Having been there the not knowing is nerve racking and then (in my case) the knowing was heartbreaking. I'd like to be able to say I did something different that resulted in a happy baby. But I did everything the same. I had 2 easy pregnancies followed by 3 miscarriages followed by another easy pregnancy. I was not diagnosed so I was eating gluten but was asymptomatic.

I hope you will be blessed with a healthy baby soon.

I'm sorry about the pregnancy.

The best things you can do is to stay gluten free and make sure your vitamins are checked and normal. I'm wondering if it would be worth having your hormone levels checked to see if you need to have progesterone supplemented the first 6 weeks of pregnancy.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Actually, gluten intolerance and celiac disease are not the same. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, while gluten intolerance is a broader term that can include Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune or allergic response seen in celiac disease. The terms are often used inconsistently, which can cause confusion.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given the nefarious nature of celiac disease and how it strips nutrients from your body, I believe we've seen virtually every type of abdominal pain here described as a symptom. In my case it was mostly in my lower right quadrant. While gluten intolerance or celiac disease primarily affects the digestive system, it can sometimes cause referred pain in areas like the left upper quadrant or back due to inflammation or irritation in the gut. However, left-sided pain and elevated lipase levels could also indicate other conditions, such as pancreatic issues, which should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Gluten itself is not typically known to directly irritate the pancreas, but if you suspect a connection, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. They may recommend further testing, such as imaging or additional blood work, to rule out other causes. Others in gluten-sensitive communities have occasionally reported similar symptoms, but individual experiences can vary widely. Keeping a detailed food and symptom diary might help identify patterns.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I was also surprised to learn that Morton Iodized Salt contains: "Salt, Calcium Silicate (an anticaking agent), Dextrose, potassium iodide." Their non-iodized version contains only salt. https://www.mortonsalt.com/home-category/culinary-salts/

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.
