Going gluten free.... Had to share

Hi everyone

I just had to share this... I've had 4 failed ivfs, 2 natural pregnancies after both resulting in 6-7 week miscarriages.

I went to a digestive specialist for my lactose intolerance, she suggested going gluten free as it's a factor in miscarriages.

Bit like breast cancer where hereditary in some cases. Didn't Always show symptoms but they are there and antibodies attack the fetus

Since getting rid of gluten as a last chance nothing to lose, I'm now 12+3 pregnant.

It could be a coincidence, but I had to share. I've spoken to others who have had similar experiences.

It's worth a try. We tried everything. Hoping and praying every day that this is our rainbow. I'm 40 now so... Last try.

Baby dust and love to all xc

Congratulations! I've been trying to cut out gluten however I do slip up. I'm going to try and continue with it. Just ordered some gluten free pies from 'its to good to be....' and I'm going to make some gluten free bread in my new bread maker! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy xxx

The best bread I've tried in the UK is "genius" not great but better than most.

Good luck xx

Hello

That's great news. Congratulations! Can I ask if you have a thyroid dysfunction? Going gluten-free can be recommended when you have Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's thyroiditis? Thanks
