Recurrent Miscarriage And Celiac

I know UNTREATED Celiac can cause recurrent m/c but what about treated celiac? My labs show I'm not suffering from malnutrition and I'm following the diet perfectly but I just had my 3rd m/c in the last 2 years. Could celiac be to blame?

If the damage has not completely healed and your immune system is still compromised, then Yes, unfortunately even treated celiac disease can still cause miscarriage.

I'm so sorry for your losses. I too had several miscarriages, all of mine were prior to being dx, and my subsequent pregnancy was full of complications, so you will want to make sure you have an OB/GYN that will search out all possible causes.

I don't think that any Dr. truly knows what causes miscarriages to occur, but try to keep the faith that you will have a happy healthy pregnancy. Just be sure your Dr. is well aware of the history and risks and monitors you appropriately. Good Luck :)

Once the damage to the villi is healed and you are adhering to the diet I believe your chances of miscarriages decrease to that of the normal population.

I'm sorry for your losses and what you have gone through

I think we all wish we had something of more help to say to you, but we all feel your frustration and have you in our thoughts. I wonder if your thyroid is functioning normally, that can really affect prenancies. Also, keep stress levels in mind, and not just emotional, physical too. I wish you all the best and hope you know we are all pulling for you!

I'm sorry for your losses. I had a miscarriage, when I was 17 and too young to be pregnant anyway, so I didn't really investigate it much. I haven't been pregnant any other time and wonder if this happening was connected to my gluten intolerance and poor immune system or if it was just something that happened. I was undiagnosed at the time.

It's a difficult thing to go through and I'm sorry for your loss.

I also had a miscarriage and both my childrens preganacies were threatened with miscarriage the whole time i was pregnant.

The stress was enormous and the grief is often not acknowledged by others.

This was before I knew I was celiac but I had all the symptoms.

I know often miscarriages occur for no known reason but they can be associated with celiacs disease. It may be for a reason other than celiac though, as you are gluten-free and not malnourshed. in the mean time surround yourself with supportive people and a good doctor, don't give up hope

I wish I had wisdom for you, but I don't... I can't imagine what it must feel like to have a miscarriage. I am so sorry you have had to go through this several times. I also hope your perserverance will be rewarded with a child. Prayers for you...

First let me say how sorry I am for your loss. Our second pregnancy was twins and we lost one of them in the 11th week. I was an undiagnosed Celiac at the time. I know that hormone imbalances can cause miscarriage. Particularily progesterone deficiency. Have you had your vitamin and progesterone levels checked? I will keep you in my prayers to conceive a happy and healthy child!

Hugs,

Twister

I'm very sorry you are going through this. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, and this site was extremely helpful to me during the miscarriage, after, and while TTC: Open Original Shared Link

There is also a board where you can talk to other recurrent miscarriers, and discuss any issues or ask questions. There are many reasons why miscarriages occur, it's it probably time you consulted a specialist, such as a perinatologist.

I definitely recommend visiting the site so that you can get the information and support you need.

Wishing you best of luck.

Thanks kess for the website. I just had a miscarriage and logged onto this referenced site and it looks to be of value to me.

I'm trying to believe that my m/c had nothing to do with being celiac. I've been gluten-free since Feb., 2005. I'm an RN and I asked a MD that i worked with if there was any harm to the baby if I accidentally got glutened and he said that the antibodies wouldn't be able to cross the placental barrier. However, that they could cross to the baby through breast milk. :(

Hello,

I am very sorry for your loss. I just found out at 26 that i have Celiac disease. I am trying to learn everything that I can so my husband and I can still try to have a child. I am sorry that i do not have any advise. However, I am seeking information out for myself and I will pass any along that I find.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Just wondering - do you drink a lot of milk or use a lot of soy?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
