Hi, 

my fiancé and I are trying to get pregnant I have had very faint positives. 
With my first pregnancy I was not diagnosed with celiacs

i was diagnosed about 2 years ago. I have severe reactions when I eat gluten I get a rash and I end up not being able to breathe as well as my entire body feels like it has been hit by a truck 

I am here to ask if any other woman have had false negatives after being diagnosed with celiacs or if they have had faint pregnancy tests and had a successful pregnancy and if so is this common with celiacs and how to go about handling it.

Please let me know

thank you

Hi Rykroeh

Welcome to the forum.

I hope someone will be able to help you with this, but in the meantime I have done a bit of reading about faint test results and I found this article which I think is helpful.

Sorry to not be of much help, but hopefully someone with experience of this sort of thing will chime in.

I've not heard of a relationship with a weak positive pregnancy test and celiac disease before, but there is definitely a link between miscarriages and untreated celiac disease, and you can read our articles that mention this here:

Yes... I heard this too.  Certainly a good (coeliac) friend of mine kept suffering miscarriages.  Once she was diagnosed, all her pregnancies went to term.  My neuro coeliac symptoms were only just becoming apparent when I had my first child and she was born ten days late; however, my second child was seven weeks premature.  I remember feeling very run down in that second pregnancy and didn't know why at the time, but I'm sure my undiagnosed coeliac disease had a part to pay in it.   It couldn't have helped that all I wanted to eat was iced Belgian buns!

I didnt have this issue, but w my last two kids, I had placental abruptions that were unexpected even with weekly ultra sounds. Apparently it’s more common with celiac and can be very scary based on each situation. One was worse than the other for me but I was lucky to make it to a good hopsital where ER surgeon, midwives and a full nicu team was there the entire time. The docs told me not to have a 4th as I was older and would be high risk by then as well.

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      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...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      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. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
