Should I Eat gluten-free While Preg. Im Not Celiac But Youngest Is

I just found out that I am preg. my daughter has celiac and was wondering if I should eat gluten-free while preg. Anyone know anything about this? I am not celiac nor is my husband. We are not sure where she got it from. No one in the family has it. So I was wondering if I should eat gluten-free.

We just found out last year about my daughter, she is now 2 1/2yrs.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have 3 other children from a previous marriage that are not celiac.

Thanks!!

I can't remember ever seeing any evidence that how you eat will affect whether or not the baby has celiac.

if you're not celiac, then your body will process all of the gluten, and you don't have to worry about your little one. The only way that it could hurt the baby if it does have celiac is for the baby to ingest it, which it can't do anyway. :) So relax, and enjoy that food!

LOL! I'm pregnant and wondering the same thing!

2 babies (not diagnosed, but confirmation in response to diet changes) (ages 4 and 2) are gluten intolerant and/or celiac and I'm pregnant with Baby #3. We've all be gluten-free (minus husband) for 3 months, and after the episodes we had with our youngest getting sick, I don't think I'm going to go back on gluten after his next baby is born - just in case he/she does have the same probs. For us, it's not worth watching the possible weight loss etc issues. The gluten does travel through breastmilk, so if you want gluten, you better fill up now before baby is born if you plan to breastfeed. :)

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      Gluten Free Oats

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      By RMJ · Posted

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      my ttg iga was 16.5 3 months ago and jumped to 30.1 last week. my iga was 415 and jumped to 455. This was done at a different lab though than the first test for ttg iga one had units as ml the other as cu... so not sure if they really jumped as much as shown. i am so strict on my diet and have no clue why this is happening  thank you for attaching this, could this happen randomly even after being gluten-free for so long ? my ttg iga was 16.5 3 months ago and jumped to 30.1 last week. my iga was 415 and jumped to 455.

      New onset constant gas

      By HilaryM · Posted

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel like I have zero control over this. Any ideas? Thank you!
