I was just diagnosed with Celiac last week. I'm 15 weeks pregnant with #5 & the only reason I got tested was b/c I had to have blood drawn anyway at my last OB appt & my oldest DD was diagnosed last month after a month of stomach pain.

I'm petrified of miscarriage & stillbirth - altho my other 4 were fine, big (8 to 9.5 lb) babies.

The GI Dr seemed to think that altho I'm asymptomatic, that I've had this for a while.

I'm trying to go gluten free - however this is quite a learning process. It just figures - I finally get over 9 weeks of constant nausea, finally have an appetite & 1/2 of what I normally eat is now off limits - - there is no justice! :rolleyes:

No need to be scared; just be happy you were diagnosed now rather than later. There's always a silver lining in there somewhere :rolleyes::D

No better time to start eating what is healthy for you and the new baby than right now :D --get him off to a good start! Fortunately, the food you should be eating is very nutritious and full of what baby needs; meat, fish, rice, fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. You are obviously already familiar with the gluten free diet from your daughter's diagnosis. Since your are asymptomatic you may not have done much damage to your villi and will probably handle dairy okay too. If you straighten up and fly right you really shouldn't worry too much about the baby being affected, being as he is four months now and you had no problems with the other children.

Good luck on your gluten free journey.

Thankfully I don't seem to be lactose intolerant - I'd really lose my mind if I had to give up cheese & milk!

I will miss my whole grains tho - I love Kashi products - - well, rather, I "loved" Kashi...

What are your test results like ?

Do you have antigliadin antibodies ?

I've been trying to find someone with only antigliadin igA and IgG markers set for celiacs but don't find anyone.

Take care

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
