Br J Obstet Gynaecol. 1975 Apr;82(4):293-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1471-0528.1975.tb00637.x.

Abstract

Successful pregnancy can occur both before and after the diagnosis and treatment of gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Abortion and intrauterine growth retardation are the main associated obstetric problems but their incidence may be reduced in the more severe cases by adherence to a strict gluten-free diet and dietary supplements. The present report concerns 60 pregnancies in 25 patients with coeliac disease.
