Hi Ladies!

I was just wondering if any of you have had a similar experience.....My baby is normally a pretty active little guy. But any time I have any kind of stomach distress, he quiets down and barely moves....sometimes for several days. I think my family thinks I'm just being an alarmist, but it really does worry me every time it happens. I have had 2 gluten accidents (both times he quieted down for several days) Now I'm having a lot of trouble with C, despite a high fiber diet, drinking lots of water, etc., etc. My Dr. prescribed a geletin suppository (I know...ewwww :blink: ) I did it last night, and as soon as I did, he once again quieted down. I really think he is probably ok in there.....the last 2 times this happened I got really worried and went in for a fetal heart check and he was fine. Plus he has moved a little, just not very much. I was just wondering if any of you have experienced anything like this....and if so was everything ok?

Thanks!

Christine

Hi Christine,

I'm pregnant right now too, and she is usually very active also. I have noticed though that her activity is very related to when and what I eat. I think because of the nutrients being transfered. It could be that when you have a gluten accident, that those nutrients are not being transfered because your body is having a hard time, or he could just be lulled to sleep by all the gurgling going on in your belly. :P

I had my last daughter before I knew I was celiac, so I was eating gluten junk all the time. She was a little small but otherwise very healthy. I don't think there would be any serious repercussions for your baby from a few accidents.

During my first pregnancy, the baby barely moved. MAYBE once or twice a day. It was so nerve-wracking. (Now, at 3-1/2, she's like a little whirling dervish. :lol: )

I ended up renting a fetal doppler from a company. It's just the little gadget they use to listen to the baby's heartbeat. It was great because if I was ever worried, I could just find the heartbeat and know everything was okay. It was $20 a month, and it was well worth it to me not to have to worry. It also cut down on my stress level.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
