Thanks for the info. I was so focused on pregnancy and the crazy newborn period that I honestly haven't done anything beyond "okay, now I'm living without gluten." Now that my baby is four months old and I've got a bit of mental space for something past the basics, it's time I got some stuff figured out! And I'm driving my husband nuts with the should I or...

Really, it was just that my doctor thought it would be worth checking because of my thyroid. She's very thorough with things like that! However, in retrospect it might explain some things, like my chronically abysmal iron levels and (maybe?) recurring migraines. So my doctor is good in that proactive way, but I don't know about the follow-up stuff. Like...

Thanks! You're right; it does seem pretty obvious with those kinds of numbers, doesn't it? I appreciate the straight talk . I'm not trying to sound whiny about this or anything. I have really no desire to "cheat," and I don't think, after a year of gluten free, that I'm suffering by living this way. I just feel like I don't KNOW know, and it's kind of...

Hello! This week marks a year since I got blood results suggesting I have celiac disease. I got the results just a couple days after discovering I was pregnant (hooray!!). I didn't want to stay on gluten for even a second longer, given my concerns about my baby's health, so I didn't bother with a biopsy, figuring I could always do a gluten challenge later...

Thanks for the good, reassuring, advice and the welcome. This is a great community! I`m lucky that going gluten-free isn't be a huge lifestyle change for us. We already eat a whole-foods diet, heavy on good animal fats/proteins and lots and lots of produce. As far as gluten-containing food goes, in our own home (family's a whole other can of worms, I...

Thanks! I think it's just the overwhelm of finding out that I'm pregnant AND that I (probably? maybe?) have celiac all in one week. To be honest, I'm afraid to check about nutritional deficiencies. I'm already pregnant, and there's not much I can do to correct what's in the past... I've got a really good (gluten-free, thankfully) prenatal vitamin that I've...

Hi! I'm very new to this world (two weeks new, to be precise) and was wondering if I might be able to get some advice. A couple weeks ago I found out that I was pregnant (I'm at seven weeks now), and a few days later I got a positive result on a TTG-IGA (I think that's what it was called... the requisition form says "anti-transglutaminase IgA") test that...
