Celiac Disease - IMPORTANT

dani_brewer

So when I was seeing my High-Risk Specialist yesterday, she told me that uncontrolled Celiac Disease during pregnancy is linked to Low Birth Weight, Pre-Term Labour, and STILL BIRTH. For me, I am incredibly strict about my diet and don't eat anything if there is even a chance it could contain gluten (even as cross-contamination), so she said I don't have to worry about my Celiac Disease as long as I continue to be strict through my pregnancy. But holy hell, I had no idea that not following the diet could have such severe consequences. For any moms-to-be with Celiac Disease, please keep this in mind and if you are craving gluten don't give in.
