So Sad That celiac disease May Have Caused My Miscarriage :(

[firefightersgal]

I have been battling with infertility and miscarriage for almost two years, now. It may be longer, but we've been try to have another baby for almost two years. I read an article that was posted here about the antibodies involved with celiac disease attaching to and attacking the placenta. My daughter's placenta was not working when she was born, so I wonder if my pregnancy with her triggered my celiac disease. (She's almost 4 years old). I've had problems with my cycle since she was born, but I only very recently put all of the pieces together that I probably have celiac disease.

Anyway, I'm very sad that something as simple as my diet could have prevented a miscarriage and infertility. I'm glad to have a light shone on it finally, but it still sucks.

I feel for you. I had a late miscarriage at 16 weeks and I constantly wonder if it was something as stupid as being glutened here and there. The good news is the longer you stay gluten-free the better your chances will get

Yes it is sad isn't it? I have had three miscarriages in three years that I blame on gluten. We're trying to wait until I'm a year gluten free now before getting pregnant again to give me the best possible chance of carrying to term.

It looks like no one else has commented on this since last year. It'd be great to read if any of you have an update. It sounds like the four of us could have some common linkage in late miscarriages. I have miscarried at 9 weeks and 18.5 weeks, a pain we are all too aware of. I'd be very interested to know how you're all doing today. I've posted another thread similar to this:

Take care,
