12 Weeks Pregnant And Cc'd

I'm really worried that I've done something to hurt my baby. Last night I really wanted pizza, so I bought a gluten free pizza from this place that I've eaten at lots of times before. I've never had any problems when I've had their pizza before so I wasn't worried when I ate it, but an hour later I've had my classic glutened symptoms. I went from being extremely constipated from my pregnancy, to having the worst diarrhea all last night and this morning. I've been drinking lots of water so I'm not getting dehydrated from it. I'm having my 12week ultrasound tomorrow, so at least I will be able to see if the baby's ok.

My celiacs test came back negative (even though from what I've read here, I don't think I had enough gluten in my system to get an accurate result) but the drs at GI specialist all told me I don't have celiac and getting sick from gluten won't have the other problems that celiacs have, but I can't help be worried about miscarriage.

I can't believe how stupid I was to take that risk. :(

My guess is that your baby will be just fine. If you were to gluten yourself on an ongoing basis, that might have an effect, but it sounds as though you're being extremely careful. My mother's celiac was triggered when she was five months' pregnant with me and had to have an emergency appendectomy. The result was that I was born with Ricketts because she wasn't able to absorb Vitamin D and perhaps calcium. Since she didn't know she had celiac, she kept eating gluten throughout her pregnancy. You, however, have knowledge on your side.

Please let us know how your ultrasound goes, okay? Many of us here will be thinking of you....

Even if celiac, one incident is almost certainly not going to cause a miscarriage. The troubles with celiac and pregnancy come from untreated celiac, not contamination lapses.

Thanks for your replies. I had my scan today and the baby was really well. I will just eat at home now so I know that I'm safe.

I'm glad to read that the baby is doing great! Of course it's important to be careful and of course you are doing your best, but I want to also put it out there that no pregnancy is 100% perfect and most babies come out just fine. :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
