Want To Get Pregnant.

Hi everyone,

New to this. I don't have any children yet, but we've decided now is the time to try. The amount of questions I have is overwhelming - too many to even get straight in my own head. But for now:

1. How important is it that your ob/gyn is knowledgable about celiacs?

2. For those of you on Long Island, would you consider Winthrop Hospital a safe (celiac wise) place to have a baby? I know they have a gluten free support group so I am just wondering about my chances of getting glutened while there.

3. Are there any celiac/pregnancy books out there?

Thanks for all of your help.

I think I might be pregnant (Very Early, shhhh, don't tell anyone....) and I went to FertilityFriend.com to chart my cycles and temp and everything and that was a huge help for us. (They have a free version of their chart, so don't waste money on the "membership") I can't answer your questions because I don't live near Long Island, and I haven't looked for a pregnancy book that had anything in/about Celiac disease yet. I honestly didn't think about it!! Thanks for that idea!!! Good Luck, Tiff

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
