I am 36 and a 3+ year diagnosed Celiac and live a completely gluten free life. I am also approximately 11 weeks pregnant. So extremely happy, but scared. I've noticed that I am having more issues Celiac-wise (a lot more diarrhea). Has anyone else been "more sensitive" to gluten while pregnant? I am extremely cautious with my food; however, I'm still having more issues. Every time I have an "episode" of diarrhea, I just start to cry. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my Celiac and I'm so scared that I'm hurting my baby. My first appointment is October 1st. I'm hoping that my worries will diminish (I know they won't completely go away) after my first appointment. Has anyone every had Celiac issues during preganancy, but still had a healthy baby? I just need a little reassurance. Thank you in advance for your responses.
