Father With Celiacs, What Are The Chances Of Our Kids Inheriting?

Hello, everyone. I hope you are well  ^_^

 

My boyfriend and I are hoping to start a family pretty soon, I'm just taking precautions and wondering about the chances of our children inheriting celiacs. My boyfriend developed it when he was quite young, and neither of our families have a history of it, so we are unsure of the possibilities.

 

Also, would I have to eat a gluten free diet while I'm pregnant? Most meals I eat are gluten free, but I often enjoy snacks that aren't, would I have to cut them out or substitute?

 

Thank you, have a great day  :)

Looks like a 1 in 22 chance.  No reason to eat gluten-free during pregnancy unless you have Ceiac disease.  I have seen that but can't find it right now.

 

or 1 in 20?

I can't find where they say that a non-Celiac mom does not have to eat gluten-free during pregnancy.  I know I saw that.  You could email the U of C Celiac ct and ask.

Exciting!  :)

 

Kareng gave you the stats I heard. somewhere around 1/22 celiacs will have a child with celiac disease. The child may also be more prone to developing other autoimmune diseases than the regular population - things like thyroiditis and diabetes are some of the more common AI diseases associated with celiac disease. It's not a guarantee by any means but you would want to be aware of possible issues in the future.

 

I have no idea about a non-celiac mom eating gluten while pg with a celiac's baby. Huh. :huh:  I know IgA, IgG and IgE crosses into the placenta but since you don't have the disease, I really don't know... It wouldn't surprise me as I believe (not sure on this) that gluten is in breast milk if the mother is consuming it. Open Original Shared Link

 

If you can't find a good answer, you might want to gluten-free just to be safe since you may have to consider that while bf'ing anyway.... I gotta, you'll be a great mom - I'm impressed you are looking into this already!  :)

There is really no way to say whether or not a child will develop the disease. They could just be a carrier of the genes and never show a symptom.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
