ARCHIVED Is There Extra Medical Care I Should Receive?
upwitht21 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was diagnosed 2 years ago (this week actually) and I recently read an article that someone with celiacs ahold receive more medical follow up (in a nut shell) I haven't had any follow up since my blood test diagnosis (my son had a positive biopsy so I opted out being as I had a positive blood test and was super symptomatic), I'm wondering if there are... -
I got pregnant 2 months after going gluten free (January of this year) miscarried in February and got pregnant again in July. I'm just about 26 weeks now. We did almost 4 years of fertility treatments with no results, diagnosed and within months I was pregnant with zero help. It takes time for your body to really heal. Hang in there =)

ARCHIVED I'm Terrified Of This Dx... :(
upwitht21 replied to a84c72's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Was diagnosed with pcos about 2 years ago due to infertility. I never felt it was right and kept looking, was blood test diagnosed last November (also have a family history so opted to skip the biopsy) went gluten free and got pregnant in January with zero fertility assistance (miscarried) and am pregnant again 4 months later. Gluten messes with everything... -
I wanted to update my previous comment to state it absolutely causes fertility problems..... We did 10 cycles of fertility meds with zero success. When I got diagnosed and went gluten free I got pregnant the first month we tried literally "trying" once (hubby had just had back surgery) we miscarried at 9 weeks in march. I just found out I am pregnant...

ARCHIVED 6 Months Gluten Free 35Lbs Lost
upwitht21 replied to coppertop's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Dont blame yourself for her choices or think for a second you did anything wrong by not knowing sooner, if someone is going to cheat nothing is going to change that. I'm so happy to read your posts they are very encouraging for others who have gone along the same path as you. I totally get the whole bloated thing, I'm considered slim (others say it anyway... -
I definitely need to do something my hair is falling out like crazy and it's starting to make me super sad =(

ARCHIVED Could Use Some Positive Words....
upwitht21 replied to upwitht21's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

It all happened very fast....ultrasound on Monday showed a heartbeat, woke up Wednesday went to the bathroom and passed all the tissue felt great by Sunday. Left my head spinning... -

ARCHIVED Could Use Some Positive Words....
upwitht21 replied to upwitht21's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have no reason to wait 6 months to try again, I'm very healthy and on a super controlled diet. Working from home makes life much easier and we have a completely gluten free home. I feel so much better and my body is healing very rapidly. Just wish I knew what I was suppose to do and getting pregnant isnt something we can just let happen. My husband... -
I'm so down in the dumbs right now about getting pregnant again. After over 2 years of trying with fertility meds I went gluten free after a very positive blood test for celiacs in November. Got pregnant in January and miscarried in march. This is our second month trying and I just feel so negative about it. I feel like I missed my chance and I know...

We use gluten free noodles and velveeta cheese....super easy -
My advice would be don't rush healing and make sure your doctor is involved. I was gluten free for 2 months and got pregnant completely unassisted after 10 cycles of fertility meds. We lost the baby at 7 weeks and I can't help but feel we just tried to soon. I was just starting to really feel better when I added the stress of a baby into my already weakened...

We found out a few weeks ago that after years of trying and 10 rounds of fertility meds we conceived entirely on our own. I was diagnosed with celiacs back in November and have been gluten free every since. Sadly our miracle baby didn't make it and I'm left with a sad heart. We saw a heart beat on Monday and this morning I miscarried. I'm scared to...
