Hi everyone!

I wanted to know how long I should/need to be gluten free before I start tying to get pregnant? I am just assuming it is all based on how I feel. Right now I am feeling a lot better now that I have been gluten free, since december, and dairy free for almost two weeks. I am thinking I should wait a couple more months but am not sure. I would really like to hear from anyone that has any advice or suggestions especially those who had celiac while they were pregnant. Thanks

My doc had logical advice. She said "you're body won't let you get pregnant until you're ready".

Simplified advice for sure, but it also makes sense. So go by how you feel and hey. . .have fun in the meantime!

Good advice! Relax and things will happen as they should.

Another issue to consider is how comfortable you are with the diet and cooking gluten free, even finding gluten free convienance foods. I am nearing the end of the first trimester and have had the worst morning sickness. It has been a struggle to find foods that I can stomach that are gluten free and nutritious!! I had been cooking 95% of my meals but lately haven't had the energy!

I personally would try and wait until the diet feels routine and you are completely adjusted to it. If you already are, and are feeling healthy- then I would think there is no reason to wait any longer to start trying.

I am glad to hear that you are a twin also. Does your twin have celiac? My twin does not, well at least at this time. She got tested and everything was just fine...but she does have the gene for it. I hope everything goes well with you. Good luck :D

I got pregnant 8 months after going gluten-free. I would listen to your body and if you are doing ok, then it should be fine.

The diet issue is another concern. I had very bad morning sickness and also struggled with gluten free options. If I could do it all over again I would have made a ton of gluten free meals and frozen them so I could just heat things up when I was feeling bad. I also would have found some good crackers - I still haven't found any that I like and can easily find.

I think it is also important to be emotional settled with this disease. I struggled in the beginning with denial and anger and it took me a while to accept things. When I got pregnant and had cravings for REAL pizza and things that I couldn't have it was very hard. So, it would be good to make sure that you are emotionally ready to deal with that side as well.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
