Can Pregnacy Cure Gluten Sensitivity

Ever since my son was born in August I seem to no longer have the symptons of being sensitive to gluten or gluten intolorant. Could the pregnacy have cured me? The things that used to make me sick I can now eat again and feel great! I haven't had an upset stomach in months. ANy input would be great!!

The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT. Some people do not get symptoms. Some people may be fine for years then get symptoms for a while then have them go away again.Everyone is different but the one thing that is always true is you can not outgrow celiac and it does not go away. The only thing to control it is the gluten free diet at this point.

Symptoms or not....the damage is still occuring

Pregnancy does not change your genetics. As celiac is a genetic disorder, pregnancy cannot untrigger the gene. The degree to which one feels symptoms can vary as one's body changes. You are quite likely still damaging your intestines if you're eating gluten, so I would encourage you to get a biopsy to find out if that is the case.

Pregnancy won't cure you. But the body does change drastically, and you may very well feel better right now. Celebrate it but stay gluten-free! :)

My doc has actually suggested that I get preg again, because my body functions better with all those hormones and whatnot swirling around. In fact, last time around (while eating gluten), I felt better than I had in years while preg and while ds was nursing, until my fertility returned, and then I absolutely crashed and burned.

Glad to hear you're feeling well :)

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
