Definite Link Between Celiac And Premature Labor?

Hi all! I'm newly diagnosed DH, confirmed through blood tests and skin biopsy. In my case, I never knew I had Celiac before getting pregnant in Nov 2006. I had a really healthy pregnancy, but my baby was born four weeks early. I was diagnosed with DH about 10 weeks postpartum - I went back into the doctor about my rash because it flared up so badly after I delivered my baby. I really do believe that there was a correlation for me. I had trouble (despite my best efforts) gaining the needed weight in my pregnancy (I ended up with only a net gain of about 12 lbs). Reading all of your stories I'm amazed that I conceived and carried her for that long! I was very careful about how I ate and what I ate both before I got pregnant and during my pregnancy though, and I'm sure that on some level that really helped. I definitely plan to get my Celiac under control before TTC again.

My water broke at 26 weeks. They kept me in the hospital and gave me IV magnesium for two weeks. So I wonder if that's one of the things that's missing from the diet that causes the contractions, the magnesium.

My daughter finally came at week 28 and she has had some developmental problems. She was in NICU for 8 weeks.

I don't know YET, if I am a Celiac or not! They did a Gastroscopy with Biopsy in the small intestine, I don't have the resulsts yet! I was supposed to got them on the 12th, but nobody told me I was not allowed to bring my daughter so they refused to see me! I have an appt. next week! I do have an Oesophagitis, I know that, since they gave me a photo which I was supposed to take with me to the Drs. office. It can be clearly seen and as far as I know it has been linked to Celiacs. My daughter is Celiac and carrier of both genes, my son has one!

This Thread kind of chills me knowing, that I had 5 misscarriages and fought premature labor with both my kids the whole pregnancy. With my youngest, muy daughter contractions already started at 15 weeks, she was born 3 weeks early in the end! the striking thing was, that I had had an Ultrasound 5 weeks prior to her birth, meaning 8 full weeks before her due-date. she weight 6lbs and 3oz- she had that exact weight, 6 lbs and 3 oz 5 full weeks later when she was born 3 weeks premature!

If you know you have Celiac you need to avoid it at all costs, even traces don't seem to make you sick, the damage on your intestine is crazy, and since you already had severe damage, pretty much emidiete. You where pregnant back then, anyone who's pregnant HAS to take in the possibility that their unborn is a Celiac too since it's genetic! In that case damage can and will happened to the unbonrs intestine since it drinks big amounts of ammniotic fluid which do go through the intestinal tract and stomach as well. I'm not so sure if damage caused in utero is totally reversable since it's all still growing and developing! also can the baby be already born with Diabetes due to that!

OMG

I am reading this having chest pains. I had a miscarriage; then my son was born at 36 weeks. The good part was I was barely in labor. Thankfully all was well, but he was just over 5 lbs when he came home. The more I learn about Celiac, the more I believe that I have it. In the beginning I thought it was a sensitivity, but I think more and more it's more than just a sensitivity.

I wasn't sick at all during my pregnancy, in fact, I had pretty much pegged that as my trigger. But this has really freaked me out.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
