Afraid Of 6Th Miscarriage

Hello everyone,

I was just officially diagnosed today with a severe case of Celiac via a biopsy... I am 24 years old and I have miscarried 5 times, thankfully God blessed my husband and I with a miracle baby girl 15 months ago. We are ready to start trying for another but I am terrified of having a 6th miscarriage! I was wondering if anyone knows how long I should be gluten-free before trying to concieve?

I waited a year, my son is now 2 1/2 and I am pregnant now. I too had a series of miscarriages and this baby seems totally fine so far :)

I think you should wait until you are getting your nutrients. You should get your iron, ferritin, b12. d & calcium checked. I wouldn't try to get pregnant until those are normal.

I think I'd wait until a blood test and endoscopy came back clean.

I agree--get those nutrients up! Vitamin D, calcium, iron, and folic acid are essential to a baby's health. My mother's celiac was triggered when she had an appendectomy when she was five months' pregnant with me. I was born with Rickets--probably due to low levels of Vitamin D and calcium in my mother. I'm sure you wouldn't want this to happen to your baby.

Thank you all for the responces... It is upsetting that we will have to wait so long. But I do understand the importance of waiting. :(

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
