Going gluten free and pregnant

[osannie]

Hey everyone,

I'm 17 weeks pregnant. I have Hashimotos, all going good, levels are fine, baby is good.

I've 2 questions to ask.

Has anyone gone gluten free during pregnancy?

Is there any evidence or research into gluten and autoimmune conditions or more specifically Hashimotos??

Congratulations on your pregnancy, osannie. I can’t give you any specific advice but being gluten free during pregnancy should be fine, as long as you don’t rely too much on ready-made foods. Make sure you are eating lots of different veg and good quality protein. Perhaps check with your midwife if you are worried.

If you google ‘Hashimotos gluten Pubmed’ you will find various scientific studies on the subject.
