Recurrent miscarriages and celiac disease: case report

Abstract

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease resulting from the exposure of a genetically predisposed individual to a food antigen represented by gluten. It can lead to reproductive disorders and pregnancy complications (unexplained infertility problems and recurrent miscarriage). We report through this work the case of a woman who consulted for repeated miscarriages whose etiology was finally linked to celiac disease, the removal of gluten from her diet allowed her to get a pregnancy after 8 months.
