Pregnant And Looking For A Doctor


Sarah Beth

Recommended Posts

Sarah Beth Newbie

Hi there,

I just found out today that I am pregnant (isn't that cute! Valentine's Day...). I have no idea where to start on looking for an OB. Does anyone have any advice on how to look? I am not sure how much my OB should know about Celiac Disease, or what I should be looking for in terms of finding someone who can deal with any complications.

I have been gluten-free since December 2004, and my antibody levels are back to normal, so I shouldn't have too many problems. But this is my first and I'm nervous. :unsure:

Thanks so much!

Sarah

P.S. If anyone knows of a good OB in the Seattle area, let me know.

First, ask your friends, collegues, and relatives in the area for their O.B. Chances are a caring O.B. will be able to handle a gluten free mom-to-be.

Congartulations!!!

Do you like your primary doctor? Does he/she deliver babies? My last 2 doctors I have been really close too! I used my primary care doctor through prenatal and delivery. Nice to keep with someone I know and love!

Good luck with an uneventful 9 months!

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
