Hi Mary,

In response to your question about infertility, I'm 42 and was diagnosed with
Celiac 6 months ago. I was never able to get pregnant even with the help of
an infertility specialist. Several years I had a hysterectomy due to terrible
menstrual cramps that I'd had since I was a teenager. I don't know how long I
was actually celiac before it was diagnosed so I can't say if my being celiac
had any relationship to my infertility, but as an infant I had severe
intestinal problems. I haven't had much in the way of intestinal problems
since then, but I was anemic off and on most of my adult life (I can't
remember if I was anemic as a child or not). I was also able to eat
everything I wanted (and I ate a lot) all my life and never gained weight.
Funny, how up until 6 months ago, I thought this was a blessing. I would
hazard to guess that I've probably been  celiac all my life and that it did
have a affect on my inability to get pregnant. Unfortunately, since the
celiac was diagnosed after my hysterectomy, I'll never know if the gf diet
would have helped my infertility or not. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Marti
