About Me

Just diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance Sept. 2nd, 2008. Grandfather has Celiac Disease as does my sister. I have not been blood tested for Celiac Disease personally, but went Gluten free under Doc's request and good results including disappearance of acne and bowl problems, and a pregnancy after 6 years of infertility all point towards confirmation.

I love playing piano, scrapbooking, knitting, cooking, anything nesty :)

    2 years ago after finding out there was a history of celiac in my family (grandfather) and me having celiac symptoms (explosive diarrhea, painful gas, and infertility), my doc put me on a gluten-free diet and my symptoms went away AND I got pregnant within 4 weeks (after 7 year drought). Now 2 years later after still being gluten free, I am having severe...

    Susan, My husband and I had secondary infertility for the last 6 years. We had tried everything and were about to do the last step, IVF, when I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. I went off gluten and 4 weeks later I had a positive pregnancy test (naturally)! I realized looking back that my first pregnancy also occurred after going on the Atkin's...

    It certainly is a possibility. Although they haven't yet discovered the exact reason why, there is a much higher percentage of woman with celiac disease and unexplained fertility than in non-celiac. I know for myself, I struggled with every fertility treatment imaginable (except In vitro) for 6 years with no luck. I went gluten free a day after being...

    Lori, So sorry you are having a rough time tracking this down! I personally take Nature's Way: Completia Pre-Natals (besides being gluten-free, it has DHA added to it). What I did was go to my local health food store. Those people know their stuff, and can immediately point out the gluten-free vitamins for you. Plus, any brand I picked up in the health...

    Meredith, Congrats! I am also 7 weeks pregant after going off a gluten healthy pregnancy to you! It sounds to me like you are trapped in an Insulin cycle from all your estrogen. If you are having cravings that badly for pizza crust. One of the problems with "gluten free" foods at the store is they are very high in starches and carbs. If you are...

    First, most major baby formulas do not have gluten. What they do have is dairy, which is more common for babies to be allergic to. Some other have mentioned that, you could pursue that with soy/dairy free formulas and your diet as well. Second, it is very common for babies to have back alignment problems from birth that cause pinched nerves to their...

    Meigha, While I'm sure each person's body is different, you may want to know that I personally went gluten-free (err..mostly free) Sept 2nd in an attempt to improve my fertility after being diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance and having 6 years of infertility. After 4 weeks on the diet, I am pregnant! And yes, once a week I cheated. I recall having...

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to post my story here in hopes that others will be encouraged or enlightened. I have had secondary infertility for 6 years now, coupled with PCOS. Since I only ovulate 3 times a year, our chances were obviously slim. We had attempted Clomid nearly 10 times over 4 years. Each time we had successful ovulation but no pregnancy...
