Celiac Disease and Infertility

[ahhjortshoj]

A correction and a comment:

1) Gluten does not only appear in wheat. It also shows up in rye, and barley, and in oats via cross-contamination.

2) It's irresponsible to not screen for celiac disease in the course of treating patients for infertility. In many instances, one directly causes the other.

Very useful! A strict gluten free diet with careful attention to cross contamination in restaurants and manufacturing facilities and gluten in non food products, was helpful to a client who is currently in her third trimester of an uneventful pregnancy. She also worked with specific tools that addressed conflicts linked to motherhood (/what Dr. Berga described in a 2003 study as stress due to behaviour and personality)

Thanks. We're glad you found this helpful. Dr. Berga outlined several similar "conflicts" in this lecture.
