Miscarriage Question

I found out in 2011 that I couldn't have gluten anymore. Now I admit for a while I wasn't perfect following it; but I have been now for a while. I got married this past october and haven't touched gluten in a long time. But at my wedding I did get contaminated accidentally with the gluten free cake getting mixed up with the regular...long story there.anyways I knew with a couple minutes after eating it I got contaminated.i got medicine in me so I wouldn't get sick but I know there was still damage done of course. I got pregnant back in November and in January I found out the baby died a little over 10 weeks. I'm just wondering is it possible that the cause of the miscarriage might be because I got contaminated then and I might not of been healed yet? I had to go to the er in december cause of bleeding.i guess the baby wasn't healthy from the beginning really.i didn't know that till after it happened tho.im just wondering if maybe the gluten might of caused it?

I doubt that little bit of gluten did that.

"Will exposure to gluten during pregnancy cause any problems with the baby?

Stay gluten-free during pregnancy and rest assured nothing gluten-related will happen to the baby. Inadvertent, minimal exposures (if not repeated) are meaningless for the health of pregnancy.

In women with undiagnosed celiac disease, however, gluten has been related to an increased risk of infertility and miscarriages."

I am sorry for your loss!

I think too, that one glutening would not affect a pregnancy. I would strongly advise remaining gluten free. It is the only "cure" for celiac disease. Get yourself back to being really healthy! Take care.

Sorry for your loss.   :(

 

I agree that the small glutening didn't cause this.  It was probably not meant to be .... Doesn't make it any easier though.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
