Glutened while pregnant

[Rinn]

I am about 7 weeks pregnant and my friend had made me some food and told me it was gluten free. A few hours later I was incredibly sick and throwing everything up. I found out a couple of days later that she had used gluten flour instead of gluten free flour, which is 7x worse than regular flour. I’m now worried that it will cause a miscarriage because all my morning sickness has disappeared. Has anyone had something similar happen and have everything go ok with the rest of their pregnancy?

You may have discovered a cure for morning sickness among the pregnant celiac population. Seriously, I suspect the emesis temporarily changed your gut biology or in some way temporarily reset the gut brain axis communication. How long ago was this episode of vomiting? Or, you may be coincidentally past the morning sickness phase of your pregnancy. At any rate, you should get checked out.

It was 3 days ago. My dr said that we could just wait for our appt in 2 weeks unless I have any worse symptoms. Thank you so much for your response! It honestly makes me feel better about it potentially just being a gut thing, I didn’t even think of that!

I'm no doctor but I do not believe that one big glutening episode would bring about a miscarriage. To flatten your villi enough to measure it you would normally need to eat 2 slices of wheat bread or more daily for at least 2 weeks. Of course all celiacs should avoid this, but a single accident like this should not be enough.
