Lynette,

 

I don't have an answer for you but had to tell you that you are so blessed!!

8 children. I would love to have a large family.

If anybody knows where this question might be more appropriate to post,

please let me know. I haven't found any Celiac lists except for these two.

 

My question: Has anybody with Celiac/Gluten Intolerance ever had a baby or

babies with birth defects?

 

I am newly diagnosed, through Enterolab, this past year as having gluten

intolerance. I have had 7 children, 4 healthy and 3 with major birth

defects. Major meaning it took two of their lives and one is living with

severe heart defects.

 

I know that because of nutritional deficiencies, this is a possibility. In

fact, I'm suspecting that it 'might' be a answer to this. Our children

have had:

Baby #2: Anencephaly

Baby # 4: Diaphragmatic Hernia

Baby # 6: Congenital Heart Defects/Heterotaxia Syndrome

 

We've been told that we don't need to be tested genetically because the

problems are totally unrelated. So, it's always been a mystery to us.

I know that God made each of our children with a special purpose and I have

graciously accepted and appreciated God's precious gifts to us (even of the

ones that came and went in a matter of days), but I have always wondered if

there was some connection that we we not catching.

 

If anybody has any feedback, it would be interesting to me.

Thanks so much.

Joyfully Serving Jesus~

Dear Lynette,

 

I don't know the answer to your question about Celiac/Gluten Intolerance and

birth defects, but I do want to say I'm sorry for your losses. Although you had

three of your precious gifts for only a short time, I know you were blessed by

their presence. May Baby # 8 be born in good health and wellness.

 

Sincerely, LaDonna
