  • Title: Coeliac disease, fertility, and pregnancy.
    Author: Ferguson R, Holmes GK, Cooke WT.
    Journal: Scand J Gastroenterol; 1982 Jan; 17(1):65-8. PubMed ID: 7134839.
    Abstract:
    The effect of coeliac disease and its treatment on fertility and pregnancy in 74 patients is reported. Those on a normal diet had a shorter reproductive period, were relatively infertile, and had a higher incidence of spontaneous abortions than those on a gluten-free diet. Although maternal health did not appear to be seriously impaired by pregnancy in undiagnosed coeliacs, those on a gluten-free diet had significantly fewer symptoms and had heavier babies.
