I remember being TERRIFIED when I "got gluten" early in my pregnancy. I suspect that the high number of miscarriages in my family is partially due to undiagnosed celiac disease. When I got sick in my first trimester I took a couple of days off of work and really focused on hydration and nutrition as well as sleeping to let my body heal as fast as it could...

There are dozens of miscarriages and complicated pregnancies in my family so my husband and I always assumed we'd end up adopting. We'd just begun looking into those options when I got pregnant! I have made it into my...
