hey guys ive been doing alot of reasearch on gluten free diets, but i havent found anything super helpful in regards to pregnancy. I am a little over 3 months pregnant and I was wanting to eat as healthy as I can, I currently suffer from hypoglycemia and i have always struggled with my weight. however, i am currently not overweight but it was a long struggle to get down. anyway i am wanting to know if this is something that i should concider to keep from gaining to much pregnancy weight, or if i should weight til after the baby. thanks guys

Hi, have you had a test for celiac or do you suspect gluten intolerance? The gluten free diet is not really for losing weight, although some people do lose weight on it. Some people also gain weight eating gluten free. You really should have a celiac panel blood test first if you suspect gluten is making you sick. As far as pregancy goes, many people with celiac have difficult pregnancies or fertility issues. So IF you suspect gluten is causing you problems, eliminating it from your diet could be healthier for you AND baby.

Gluten-free is not a weight loss diet. If anything, it is a little harder on people with blood sugar issues because the starches we substitute for wheat have a higher glycemic index. This is a medical diet for people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten intolerance. Are you experiencing GI symptoms when you eat bread, pasta, or other foods that are made from wheat, or is there a history of celiac disease in your family?

If you're thinking of doing this simply to try to lose weight, definitely do NOT do it until after having the baby.

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!
