Gluten Free while trying to conceive???

Question

Is it better to be gluten-free while trying to conceive? Anyone have any thoughts or information on this?

Answer

Hi Vanessa! If gluten causes you discomfort (GI problems, inflammation, headaches, etc.), then avoiding it is a good idea. Some people feel better if they don't eat gluten, but if you don't have a negative reaction to it and feel fine after eating it, then you probably don't need to cut it out of your diet. Why miss out on breads and cereals (good source of whole grains) if you can eat them? (All this from a gluten-intolerant person who misses bread terribly!)
​
​Is there a reason you think cutting out gluten would help? The nice part is that you can experiment with cutting out gluten and see how you feel ?. Good luck!

Answer

I'm paleo and allergies/asthma WILL improve if you cut the gluten. Try to also go easy on the " gluten free" substitutes ( gf breads cookies that kind of thing ) too... The sugar/starch can be inflammatory too. Eat real , whole, foods and your fertility will increase naturally and your other asthma symptoms will def decrease! Give it time too - takes a bit to get over the "craving " hump! Good luck!
