Medication -- Heart Medication

Not sure if anyone has gone through this or not....

I take a beta blocker for my pulse and was wondering if anyone has gone through pregnacy where they were on heart medication? What safe medicine did your dr put you on? And that is also Gluten Free?

I have a check up appt with my heart dr this month and was going to ask him and then the next week I have my yearly appt with my Gyno and was going to talk to him about it as well. Just trying to do some research ahead of time.

I have a call in with my Gyno office they are going to check on some meds that I can call the manufacture on and see if gluten free. I just don't know anyone who is gluten free and on heart medicine wanting to have kids.

My husband and I always thought we had time to wait to have kids. But with my Gyno wanting to do a laparoscopy possibly to check for Endometriosis we are just at the point where I/we are nervous about things and if we are still going to be able to have kids. I am thinking of getting my heart medicine changed now to something safe so I can get the medicine out of my system that is not okay to be on if preg. and start to take approprate prenatals etc. I am jumping it some possibly with the worring and all but I guess that is how I am...I like things planned ahead especially if we are able to have kids I don't want anything in my system that shouldn't be so trying to plan months.... ahead.

Sorry for the rambling....

Thanks for any input

Well I had my heart appt check up last week and my wellness exam this week. Talked to both drs about medicine and heart dr brought up two and my gyno said no to one of them and said this other one (sorry they are at home written down) that he suggested.

My gyno is scheduling me in for a laparoscopy (nervous about) and then we will go from there.

Pretty much when we are ready to have a child if still possible and if I do get preg then we would change the heart medicine right away. Guess the old medicine leaves the body quickly.

Now after the laparoscopy depending on what the results are we still have to figure out with my heart/pulse situation if it is safe for me to go through pregnacy. My husband and I want kids but he said if I would be in any type of danger or life threatening then he doesn't want to take the chance of anything happening to me.....

Just keeping our fingers crossed that things go okay during this process.

If anyone has been in this type of situation or similar please share any info you have =)

Thanks and Happy Holiday!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. 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.):
