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).

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!

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
