Pregnancy Loss

There are so many reasons for pregnancy loss; from medical issues of the mother such as Celiac, PCOS IgA-D, and Lupus, to issues with problems with progesterone production, or just a non-viable fetus.  However, each one of these reasons may not lessen the pain that comes along with losing a child.  

Celiac and Lupus

Those are not freckles, that is an example of a butterfly rash.  

Who would have thought that there is a connection between Celiac and lupus?  Well there is one, those who have Celiac are at higher risk for Systematic Lupus. It wasn't until I ran into someone who had been diagnosed first with Celiac, and then with Lupus, that I even knew there was a connection. Since Celiac and lupus can be found on the same DNA sequence, it seems they can also be activated at the same time. Those with Celiac should probably get a basic blood test to make sure that Lupus is not even a possibility for them.  I will be doing so just to make sure that this is not an issue for me, more of a ruling out test.
