Is There A gluten-free Bun In The Oven?

My doctor called today, apparently he ran a pregnancy test "just to check" and the results were "inconclusive". He said that after a celiac disease diagnosis and treatment, it isn't uncommon to have a rise in fertility (which makes sense to me because I'm not torturing my body anymore). He had me go in for more bloodwork today and said it could be from an ovarian cyst. I have been on the pill but apparently our hormones react differently when our body is running efficiently.

It's super super bad timing (grad school, NCO salary, 12 months of deployment spread over the next 18 months, etc) but we would be...ok...with it since we wanted 3 and were told we may only be able to have one (if at all- surprise surprise the gluten-free thing straightened out my girly bits). Has anyone else had anything similar happen? Are my hormones just rebalancing?

This WOULD explain the entire jar of pickles I ate in ...ahem... one afternoon :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

I hope you've got a little bun in there. After being told I would need an egg donor at 31, we gave up trying. At 33 I was diagnosed celiac, and now at 35, I'm pregnant for the first time. My body reversed the liver and kidney damage the celiac caused. Apparently, it reversed at least some of the hormonal damage as well. Even though it is not the optimal timing for you, I know if there is a bun, you will make it all work out for the best. Just think, Hubby will be home just after the baby is born and won't have to miss that first year while deployed. I'll be crossing my fingers and toes for you.

I have a bun in MY oven! And my last miscarriage was 14 months before this pg, with infertility during that time. Also had another year-plus of infertility before that miscarriage. Now, suddenly I'm pregnant, at 38! And so far this pregnancy is going well!

That's cool that you guys were both able to conceive after being diagnosed! I am waiting for bloodwork to come in, but I am still leaning towards the ovarian cyst. Also, I would duct tape that baby in there, I am NOT having a baby without my husband. I am too stubborn LOL. I dunno, we'll find out this next week (bloodwork won't be back til Monday and PCM said there's really no reason to have an U/S).

Yes having 2 close together is most definitely an adventure ;-) My youngest 2 are only 16 months apart. Well I hope it turns out the way you want it to. Keep us posted!

If you are preggers I do hope that you have a little one who is in no hurry to get here and can hold off till he returns. I had my first when my significant other was far away on board a ship. As I was laboring away a nurse cheerful handed me the phone saying 'this calls for you', while it wasn't the same as having him right there it was wonderful to hear his supportive voice. If your little one is born while hubby is deployed I hope you can do the same. If not know that he will be there with you in spirit.

Keep us posted and I will keep my fingers crossed that whatever are your wishes that is the way things turn out.

No bun in the oven (REALLY good news for us right now!!). Doctor said my hormones are readjusting (ie, getting normal post diagnosis). I also have a cyst.

My husband did a little happy dance lol. We are SO waiting for another year before adding to our lil family :)

Thanks for the support!

I am glad it all turned out the way it needed to! Get your cyst taken care of and keep on the road to getting healthier!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
