<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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
