8 Months Pregnant---need Advice

Hello,

A few moths ago I posted a question regarding when and how to test your newborn baby for Celiac....I didnt get a lot of responses though. Im hoping that more people will read this post and have some advice/suggestions....

Does anyone have experience testing their baby for Celiac? Im 8 months pregnant and wont be breastfeeding, so Im wondering what kind of formula does the baby need? Which one is safe? When do you test? How? Im wondering if I should contact Colombia Univ. Celiac Center (I once saw Dr Green for a visit when I was diagnosed 10 years ago) and see if they could help.....Any opinions on this?

Also, does anyone know of a NY pediatrician who has experience or specialty in Celiac? Or, in general, does anyone have a good pediatrican they can recommend in the NYC area? Im trying to find a doctor now before the baby comes, but I find it difficult to chose one? Obviously Id like to get a recommendation and am asking friends/family members too. I figured Id try here to since this is a helpful website with other caring Celiacs, who can and do, really help one another.

Thank you for any help at all!!!

I had the same concerns and questions for my pediatrician when i was pregnant, and spoke to him early on. He said that there was nothing to be worried about, and that any formula ( I didn't breastfeed either) was fine. We used enfamil. I now have a 2 year old who eats gluten with no problem. My doctor suggested that I don't do anything different with him, except for push off gluten until about 6 months, which was fine since we weren't going to give him solids until than anyway.

Good luck and congratulations!

      glutenfreedrugs.com

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!
