Need Celiac Doc For Pregnancy Check Ups!

Title pretty much sums it up. I got celiac pretty bad, am pregnant, and need someone who knows what they are doing to check for the right things for this baby. I could go to the AHCCCS which is reduced health care, but those people probably will have no clue what celiac is.

I may need a naturopath, I'm on a very strict diet and certain vitamins I can't swollow or come right back up.

Are you in AZ?

Call the Phoenix or Tucson Celiac groups and ask for a referral.

If it's between no care and care where you may need to educate them a bit, I would go with the later.

What "things" are you expecting them to check the baby for specific to Celiac?

If you have no insurance go to your local Social Services office, the criteria for Medicaid is different for women that are pregnant and you may qualify. If nothing else check with your local Planned Parenthood office as they can help you find a doctor or a doctor there can at least check on things. You need to at least have vitamin and mineral panels checked so you can supplement what needs to be supplemented but other than that I don't think you need any special treatment.

When you say you have celiac real bad does this mean you are still suffering symptoms? If that is the case and you are a diagnosed celiac you need to find out why. If you are self-diagnosed and strictly following the diet you need to make sure you don't have something else going on.

Wishing you and the little one the best. Don't put off going to the doctor as your health and the babies health are too important to ignore.

Are you saying you are pregnant and having Chemo for cancer?

"The Quick New Plan

So in Spokane at the doc's office, mom and I were informed that surgery would be the only option for something that was cutting my time short. The tumor was non-hodgkins lyphoma, 4.5x5 inches."

"We can mix up a stronger batch of chemo and use Rituxin before hand...blah blah blah.” Mom and I both exhaled and laughed crazily, commenting that we'd both been praying madly just then."

If you are preggers and having chemo talk to your oncologist about what to do as far as keeping the baby safe.

My personal blog is not current, it is of the past, I am not on chemo right now.

I think you are reading my personal blog that is not a current time frame. This topic here is seperate.

It was posted here a few days ago so I thought it was current. Glad that is in the past!

You may find that your best bet is to find a midwife who is also a natropath. (There are some - one of mine was.) Celiac in and of itself shouldn't require any special treatment in pregnancy - stay gluten free, address any nutritional concerns (which would have to be investigated via blood test anyway.

Whether this can work depends partly on where you are, but I used midwives for both my pregnancies and deliveries at home. My midwife's husband was a naturopath which worked out great. It was about a tenth of the cost of seeing a regular doctor, and my babies and I got much better care!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
