    There is a recent article, I think in Scientific American magazine which is about celiac disease. It said that it is doing a trial to try to prevent celiac in people with the genetic marker and early evidence has shown that having an infant avoid all gluten for the first year appears to prevent activation of the disease later on- again it's early evidence...

    I had 5 first trimester m/c before discovering I am likely celiac (never ended up getting an official diagnosis). With each of those pg, I also had horrible gas pains and cramps (worse than when I wasn't pg - not realizing all my life I had been having more gas and cramping than what is normal) and terrible morning sickness too. I could barely eat or sleep...

    Bette- I am so sorry to hear of your daughter's losses and hope this current pregnancy is successful. If she has been through all the standard blood and structural tests and nothing has been identified as a cause, and has any future unexplained complications, I strongly recommend consulting with the Alan Beer Center. They deal with maternal immune issues...

    I'm almost 19 weeks pregnant and have been gluten-free a little over a year. I don't quite understand the question - as I've found I can make or buy just about anything gluten free that tastes great. So I haven't craved any gluten - but I have craved toast with peanut butter which I made on homemade gluten-free bread. And we have a great local bakery who...

    I responded to a similar post last week on sillyyaks - I'm not sure if you are the same person. I've been involved with reproductive immunologists who have been monitoring my pregnancy and treating my immune system flares (high natural killer cells) with regular IVIG infusions. I read a thread on the public support board which talks about 2nd trimester IUGR...

    Glad you are feeling better after going gluten-free - it literally changed my life. I also self-diagnosed and felt amazing after 4 days. I had 5 unexplained first trimester miscarriages in the 2 years prior to that. I went to a nutritionist, gastroenteroligist and acupuncturist- all 3 said to take a year off before getting pg again but as I was pushing 4...

    I had an endoscopy w/ biopsies last month despite negative blood work- I did blood tests one week after a 2 week gluten-free trial and was fearing a false negative. I responded so well to my gluten-free trial in November I really wanted to know if I had villi damage. The results just came back (see my other post re: endoscopy results) but the biopsies determined...

    Wow - that is so scary about your reaction. I hope you are doing better now. The antibiotic is not Levaquin - it is called Xifaxan and the ingredient name is Rifaximin. What is interesting about this drug is that it will not be absorbed into my bloodstream - it is supposed to stay in my intestines. I've decided to start taking it today (and I guess I have...

    I was gluten-free for 2 weeks then went on gluten for 1 week and did the blood test. I will look at SIBO and see if it rings any bells. My doctor is recommending a different antibiotic that it a lot more expensive than Cipro but much more likely to really rid me of the infection -she had said Cipro was her 2nd choice but taht it's up to me since the cost...

    Hi there- First off, thanks to all of you posting to this forum. The forum has been a lifesaver for me as I sort out what is going on with me. I just got my endoscopy biopsy results today and want to confer with you to see if what my GI doc is telling me makes sense, and whether any of you have had similar results. My history (sorry this is so long...

    I just went gluten-free yesterday and take Safeway Select brand prenatals. I called Safeway and they said they are gluten free. I am also taking a prescription B vitamin called Folgard Rx (B6/B12/Folic acid) as I have a gene mutation which makes me less likely to absorb these vitamins. I have emailed the manufaturer but have not heard back yet as to whether...

    Erynn- I am so sorry for your losses. I know how hard it is to deal with, especially when the losses are timed around holidays. 3 of my 5 losses were in October, 2 d&c's right after Halloween. Needless to say I don't enjoy Halloween anymore. I have found my way to this board because of my losses. After the 4th loss, I took a break from ttc and started...
