Celiac Disease in Women Planning Pregnancy or During Pregnancy
Women with coeliac disease who are planning a pregnancy or are currently pregnant require focused clinical management. Both disease control and nutritional adequacy must be addressed to support preimplantation, early foetal development, and placental formation.
Clinical Scenario
This protocol applies to women with established coeliac disease in the preconception period or during pregnancy. In this population, uncontrolled disease and nutritional deficits can adversely affect reproductive and foetal outcomes, making targeted management essential.
Management Approach
The approach centres on strict dietary adherence combined with targeted nutritional supplementation to correct deficiencies that matter specifically in this clinical context. The complete regimen — including which supplements are required and how to monitor response — is detailed in the full protocol.

In women with CeD planning pregnancy, strict adherence to a GFD is essential, together with resolution of disease‑related symptoms and adequate supplementation of folate and other vitamins, to optimise nutritional status and create a favourable environment for preimplantation, early foetal development, and placental formation.
