Too Skinny

Hi... my husband and I are not trying or trying not, but I am confused about the lack of a pregnancy over the last year and a half, since it seems like so many people don't have to try.

Does anyone know if a person can have enough body weight to have regular periods but not enough weight to conceive? I am gluten-free but I feel like I burn more calories washing dishes than I could ever replace in a day. My Dr. says my weight is normal but friends say it's not.

The body knows if it can support a fetus. And there are many reasons why it might not. Including deficiencies, structural abnormalities, stress level of the mother and eggs that are not viable (which can be due to genetics, radiation damage, among other reason). PLUS your husband's sperm could be the issue. Poor motility. Low sperm count. Etc.

A good nutritionist can help you put on weight if you need to do that. And a fertility specialist can help you guys figure out why.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
