Is There A gluten-free Bun In The Oven?

My doctor called today, apparently he ran a pregnancy test "just to check" and the results were "inconclusive". He said that after a celiac disease diagnosis and treatment, it isn't uncommon to have a rise in fertility (which makes sense to me because I'm not torturing my body anymore). He had me go in for more bloodwork today and said it could be from an ovarian cyst. I have been on the pill but apparently our hormones react differently when our body is running efficiently.

It's super super bad timing (grad school, NCO salary, 12 months of deployment spread over the next 18 months, etc) but we would be...ok...with it since we wanted 3 and were told we may only be able to have one (if at all- surprise surprise the gluten-free thing straightened out my girly bits). Has anyone else had anything similar happen? Are my hormones just rebalancing?

This WOULD explain the entire jar of pickles I ate in ...ahem... one afternoon :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

I hope you've got a little bun in there. After being told I would need an egg donor at 31, we gave up trying. At 33 I was diagnosed celiac, and now at 35, I'm pregnant for the first time. My body reversed the liver and kidney damage the celiac caused. Apparently, it reversed at least some of the hormonal damage as well. Even though it is not the optimal timing for you, I know if there is a bun, you will make it all work out for the best. Just think, Hubby will be home just after the baby is born and won't have to miss that first year while deployed. I'll be crossing my fingers and toes for you.

I have a bun in MY oven! And my last miscarriage was 14 months before this pg, with infertility during that time. Also had another year-plus of infertility before that miscarriage. Now, suddenly I'm pregnant, at 38! And so far this pregnancy is going well!

That's cool that you guys were both able to conceive after being diagnosed! I am waiting for bloodwork to come in, but I am still leaning towards the ovarian cyst. Also, I would duct tape that baby in there, I am NOT having a baby without my husband. I am too stubborn LOL. I dunno, we'll find out this next week (bloodwork won't be back til Monday and PCM said there's really no reason to have an U/S).

Yes having 2 close together is most definitely an adventure ;-) My youngest 2 are only 16 months apart. Well I hope it turns out the way you want it to. Keep us posted!

If you are preggers I do hope that you have a little one who is in no hurry to get here and can hold off till he returns. I had my first when my significant other was far away on board a ship. As I was laboring away a nurse cheerful handed me the phone saying 'this calls for you', while it wasn't the same as having him right there it was wonderful to hear his supportive voice. If your little one is born while hubby is deployed I hope you can do the same. If not know that he will be there with you in spirit.

Keep us posted and I will keep my fingers crossed that whatever are your wishes that is the way things turn out.

No bun in the oven (REALLY good news for us right now!!). Doctor said my hormones are readjusting (ie, getting normal post diagnosis). I also have a cyst.

My husband did a little happy dance lol. We are SO waiting for another year before adding to our lil family :)

Thanks for the support!

I am glad it all turned out the way it needed to! Get your cyst taken care of and keep on the road to getting healthier!

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
