Help
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.

Thank you for your reassurance.
