Celiac Disease - Infertility -You May Have it & Not Know, Find Out Why It's Important!

Female & Male CD Fertility

There are many horrible diseases associated with celiac disease but none of them are harmful due to its effects on fertility. Although other illnesses present themselves with visible symptoms, infertility is the absence of something (pregnancy) that has not been proven or concluded. Although the information mentioned below is uncertain, it strongly suggests that Untreated CDs can increase infertility and maintain a strict gluten-free diet to reduce the effects of infertility on a large scale.

The effects of pregnancy are clearer and are discussed at the end of this article.

FERTILITY CD FEMALE

The papers on celiac disease and infertility seem to cite the same statistics, which since 2000 have all maintained the same positive message. That is, if you are celiac, you must maintain your gluten free diet during pregnancy and once successful during pregnancy. Extra advice is just to replace the vitamins and minerals you might be missing by not including gluten grains from your diet.

The reason for maintaining a gluten-free diet during the trial of the concept is to believe that infertility and miscarriage in celiac are due to mal-absorption - due to the body's inability to absorb the nutrients it needs to conceive and then bring in a healthy baby. In fact, studies show that "incidence of celiac disease in women with unexplained infertility was estimated at four to eight percent."

Researchers also found that "CD women who did not undergo the gluten-free diet began menstrual cycles up to one and a half years later than women with diet-related celiac disease. irregular periods), compared to only nine percent of women with gluten-free disease. Women with celiac disease who do not have a gluten-free diet are found to enter menopause four to five years earlier than women with celiac disease undergoing diet. have studied women with infertility have found them positive test for C.disease-related antibodies at ten times higher than normal population.

It is worth noting that many women are fertile. this often goes to the delivery of healthy babies, aided by a strict gluten-free diet. In Australia the usual way to solve infertility problems is to see a naturopath, take lots of vitamins and then see an IVF specialist. The reality with this is that these methods are very expensive and time consuming and if you have celiac disease and do not know, your chances of getting pregnant will not increase.

Technically, they call this unexplained infertility. And the explanation may be very good either as celiac or gluten intolerant. However, if you are in an age range or other health problem or concept and you are not getting enough nutrition, the main effect of celiac disease is to further reduce your vital nutrition.

Celiac disease and infertility cause the menstrual cycle to be 'back again'. Unfortunately, under these circumstances, it may take a long time to become pregnant, if at all, as the gluten-free diet may lead to an earlier menstrual cycle and menopause.

Although none of these data suggest that celiac disease causes infertility, it does show that people diagnosed as celiac may have difficulty conceiving and they may greatly increase their chances of adhering to a strict gluten-free diet.

FERTILITY MALE

Male infertility is often more difficult to prove than female infertility. A normal male test is only to see if the sperm's shape, number and general dexterity are 'normal'. What this simplified test does not show anything to do with the complex code norms carried by sperm. Looking normal and normal is a very different thing when it comes to sperm. So even if the small robber swims well and seems to do the right thing, it is highly likely that they contain too much waste DNA to produce the embryo.

Another issue is that masculinity usually dictates that the area of ​​the man is addressed and that if the couple is not pregnant, it is caused by "female problems". Most of the time in the IVF cycle is spent making sure that the female eggs are ok, they are there for support. Men, do not forget to be tested for celiac disease if you have any symptoms.

"A male CD male is at increased risk of infertility and other reproductive disorders, as well as a greater incidence of hypoandrogenism." This medical condition means the lack of androgens in the body which results in a lack of sexual ability and potential.

"In terms of nutrition, folic acid deficiency CD can affect rapidly growing tissues, such as embryos and seminiferous epithelium. More attention should be paid to the deficiency of fat soluble vitamins, such as A and E, observed in Cel. D. Vitamin A is essential for the function of Sertoli cells as well as for the early spermatogenetic phase. Vitamin E promotes proper differentiation and function of epithelial epithelium, spermatid maturation and secretion of proteins by the prostate. Therefore, male patients should be considered as exposed subjects ”(ref 4).

The practical conclusion is that CDs have a profound effect on women's fertility, it has a similar effect on men's fertility through the quality of their sperm. Again the gluten-free diet is the only 'fix' viable for the issue of infertility for men with unexplained infertility.

LOSS

The detrimental effects of these diseases are that they affect pregnancy, although for conception, celiac pregnancy can be restored to normal by following a gluten-free diet. Instead of 'gild the lily' I will only quote the statistics known below:

"In a study of 25 patients and 60 pregnancies of Celiac women, researchers found that 21% of women who were not on the GF diet had a pregnancy loss, and 16% of women had a fetal growth restriction". "In a large Danish study of 211 infants and 127 mothers with celiac disease, the researchers found that the birth weight of children born to mothers on a diet containing g was significantly lower than that of babies born to mothers without celiac disease. found that women on the gf diet gave birth to more babies than those born to mothers without cd! "(ref 5)

"In a case-control study that looked at the effects of a lean diet on pregnancy and breastfeeding, researchers found that women with celiac disease who were not on a diet were at a loss of 17.8%, compared with 2.4% of women with celiac disease. in the gf diet. "In a group of women with celiac disease who have been pregnant more than once, researchers are looking at the effects of a gluten-free diet on their future pregnancies. They concluded that the glutenfree diet institution at diagnosis led to a weight loss of 35.6%, a 29.4% reduction in low birth weight babies and an increase in breastfeeding by two and a half months. "(Ref 5)

As you can easily see, celiac disease, caused by eating gluten-containing grains, has far-reaching effects on preventing reproduction. If you have any symptoms (discussed on the website in the fridge), it is a relatively easy process to get yourself checked. Unexplained infertility is a growing subset of the fact that they cannot have children. If you think you have some symptoms, as well as infertility, there are some non-invasive tests that you can try before taking the IVF route.
