I have celiac disease (more specifically dermatitis herpitiformus) and have known about it for about a year, though I didn't receive my official diagnosis until about a month ago. I've been wondering if my daughter has or will have celiac disease and what to look for in her. I had/have somewhat obscure symptoms (joint pain, rash, infertility/miscarriage...

I know that celiac disease is genetic, but I'm wondering what the statistics are for passing it on to your children. My daughter is 4.5 and, as far as I can tell, is not exhibiting symptoms at this point. Also, my symptoms did not present themselves until my early 20's. Does that have any bearing on the age my daughter may come into it? Thanks!

Scotland, for sure.

1. Be your own advocate. Educate yourself and others. 2. Don't be discouraged. We all slip.

I've been battling secondary infertility for over two years now. I've only know that I have celiac disease for about a year. I have taken fertility treatments and had a miscarriage. My 4.5 year old daughter's placenta stopped working at the end of my pregnancy with her. I was induced for not having any amniotic fluid (didn't leak, just stopped making...

Last August, I began to suspect that I have celiac disease. I had a terrible rash, achy joints, and unexplainable infertility/miscarriage. After doing a lot of research, it seemed like a clear explanation for everything I was experiencing. However, my doctor was reluctant to confirm my suspicions when my blood test came back negative. He went on to test...

My DH was misdiagnosed as eczema for years. I had an itchy rash on both shins for years. When I finally figured out what the heck was wrong with me, I had a full-blown, insanity0inducing rash on the backs of my thighs. That went on for several months until I stopped eating gluten. A few days ago, I accidentally ate gluten and woke the next morning with...

Yes, my doctor and I agree that gluten probably caused my miscarriage. It happened before I was diagnosed and I was eating gluten like crazy. There was no other explanation for it.

After 2.5 years of trying for baby #2 and one miscarriage later, my cycles seemed to be returning to a somewhat normal and functioning state. I have been gluten-free since August. Before that, I had to use fertility meds to ovulate. My last cycle was beautiful--I even ovulated on my own. When my period showed up, I felt sorry for myself for STILL not...

It is: Allegro Hickory Smoke Marinade

Do you notice that a certain gluten-free flour or common ingredient has a weird aftertaste? I notice it a lot in Bob's Red Mill cookie and bread mixes. I baked a loaf of bread mix that had so much potential. It had a great texture and looked beautiful...but it had that dreadful aftertaste. Do you know what I'm talking about?

My husband bought some meat marinade that says it is gluten-free. However, the first ingredient is soy sauce. It doesn't specifically contain wheat, but it does contain caramel color. Would you steer clear of it, even though it states that it is gluten-free?

After two years of inexplicable secondary infertility and one miscarriage, my OB and I are certain that gluten intolerance has been the cause of my problems. He said that Celiac Disease can certainly lead to both issues.

Last week, I accidentally ate gluten--and it must have been quite a bit. Less than a half hour later, I started feeling terrible. My joints hurt, I was nauseated, I had a massive headache, and felt like I could pass out. Thankfully, it passed about two hours later when I ate and drank some more non-gluten items. I've been gluten-free since early August...

I have been battling secondary infertility for two years in December. A year ago, we had a miscarriage and have not had a pregnancy since. I've been on Clomid many times (with breaks along the way). Everything appears to be working correctly, but I don't get pregnant. There was also no explanation for my miscarriage. Someone posted an article on here...
