Survey- How Long After Going Gluten Free Did You Get Pregnant?

How long after going gluten free were you able to get pregnant? I would love to hear from Celiacs, Gluten Intolerant & others... I tested negative for Celiac but after going gluten free for 4 weeks & then eating normal again I have been nauseous for over a week now so I'm assuming my issue is probably gluten or wheat intolerance.

I would love to hear your stories. I would love to get pregnant. I have always had VERY irregular periods unless I was on birth control. I went off birth control in January & they have been irregular again since then. I'm hoping that the gluten free diet will help this.

Definetely , sounds like gluten intolerence. There are test which can test for intolenrence.

There are other tests available that test for gluten sensitivity.

Lame Advertisement has an at home test for gluten and 19 ther foods. Enterolab also has a stool test for gluten.

Huh for some reason , The cmputer inserted "lame adversitsement" for the name of the lab I had put there. I am not in any way associated with the lab. In fact it took me a year searching on th net to find that particular at home test , which is affordable. Well, if you like that information . send me and email at sachetrose2002 at yahoo. It an be life changing

Thanks for the info on the gluten testing. I can't afford anymore testing right now. I have had a ton done of the last 5 years & my health insurance skyrocketed in June so I can't afford to have anything else done. That's why I am just doing this on my own now.

Hi, I waited two years after going gluten free before getting pregnant. My periods are pretty regular (25-28 days) with the occasional really long cycle (35-42 days). I did a blood test to ensure my antibodies were in the normal range first. Once they were, the doctor said I should be just fine. We got pregnant on the second cycle of trying. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, going gluten free doesn't necessarily regulate cycles--sometimes they are just off for different reasons. My cycles are 42-59 days long if I ovulate at all, and I've been gluten free for over 5 years now.

I also have PCOS so getting pregnant is not easy. I sometimes could go a year w/ out a period, But since going Gluten free my peroids have been alittle better w/ less cramps and pain. My husband and I are going to try again next year. Hoping that after a good year we will have better luck :D

Hello. We tried for about a year before I knew I had Celiac Disease without any luck. After being diagnosed I waited around 6 months and began trying again. It took 17mths after going gluten free. I don't believe I could of gotten pregnant if I had of continued on eating gluten. My body was so sick, my periods were very irregular. After going gluten free everything gchanged for the better. I am now on my 7th week of pregnancy, and feeling good, except for the "all day sickness" I hope that it gets better after the the 1st trimester. Good Luck

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
