Is There a Connection Between Celiac Disease and Infertility?

A recent article caught our eye.  It discussed the potential connection between celiac disease and infertility.

In the Food Consumer piece, entitled “Can Foods Contribute to Infertility?“, the author explains:

Infertility seems to be more common in women with untreated celiac disease. Other gynecological and obstetrical problems may also be more common, including miscarriages and preterm births.

For men, problems can include abnormal sperm — such as lower sperm numbers, altered shape, and reduced function. Men with untreated celiac disease may also have lower testosterone levels.

The article goes on to explain celiac disease and several excellent ways to deal with it. 

If you’re interested in the topic, it’s definitely worth a look.
