Medication -- Heart Medication

Not sure if anyone has gone through this or not....

I take a beta blocker for my pulse and was wondering if anyone has gone through pregnacy where they were on heart medication? What safe medicine did your dr put you on? And that is also Gluten Free?

I have a check up appt with my heart dr this month and was going to ask him and then the next week I have my yearly appt with my Gyno and was going to talk to him about it as well. Just trying to do some research ahead of time.

I have a call in with my Gyno office they are going to check on some meds that I can call the manufacture on and see if gluten free. I just don't know anyone who is gluten free and on heart medicine wanting to have kids.

My husband and I always thought we had time to wait to have kids. But with my Gyno wanting to do a laparoscopy possibly to check for Endometriosis we are just at the point where I/we are nervous about things and if we are still going to be able to have kids. I am thinking of getting my heart medicine changed now to something safe so I can get the medicine out of my system that is not okay to be on if preg. and start to take approprate prenatals etc. I am jumping it some possibly with the worring and all but I guess that is how I am...I like things planned ahead especially if we are able to have kids I don't want anything in my system that shouldn't be so trying to plan months.... ahead.

Sorry for the rambling....

Thanks for any input

Well I had my heart appt check up last week and my wellness exam this week. Talked to both drs about medicine and heart dr brought up two and my gyno said no to one of them and said this other one (sorry they are at home written down) that he suggested.

My gyno is scheduling me in for a laparoscopy (nervous about) and then we will go from there.

Pretty much when we are ready to have a child if still possible and if I do get preg then we would change the heart medicine right away. Guess the old medicine leaves the body quickly.

Now after the laparoscopy depending on what the results are we still have to figure out with my heart/pulse situation if it is safe for me to go through pregnacy. My husband and I want kids but he said if I would be in any type of danger or life threatening then he doesn't want to take the chance of anything happening to me.....

Just keeping our fingers crossed that things go okay during this process.

If anyone has been in this type of situation or similar please share any info you have =)

Thanks and Happy Holiday!

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      This is an older article, but still helpful:

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
