Celiac and HELLP syndrome

Hi. I’m just curious if there is any correlation between Celiac disease and HELLP syndrome. I had that with my 13 year old. She was also growth restricted and only weighed a little over 3 pounds when born at 34 weeks. I was only diagnosed with celiac disease a week ago and am just curious. I did not have the same issue with my second pregnancy.

I found this article that connects vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies to HELLP.  Celiacs often suffer from malabsorption which results in malnutrition and vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Hope this helps.

I know this was posted awhile ago but I was searching for a link between the two diseases and found this post. My son is 13 1/2 now and was born emergency c-section due to hellp syndrome. Afterward my ANA levels were tested and they came back high with a pattern for lupus but I have no autoimmune symptoms. I read a study that said these levels being high can indicate gluten sensitivity. Afterward I had two other pregnancies which were healthy other than small amounts of protein in urine towards the end of them. My son always had issues with eczema and after some random vomiting, behavior and other issues we decided to go gluten free. (4 1/2 years ago) The eczema and other issues cleared up. He is positive for HLA DQ8 but we have never put him on wheat since then to try and get a positive antibody test.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      I love Middle Eastern food and eggplant, and here is another version we shared some time back:

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
