Were you aware that white bread can cause infertility? Well, white bread contains gluten which can cause infertility in both men and women. Gluten is a a protein that is found in wheat, barley and rye, which means any foods that are made out of one of these 3 ingredients contain gluten.

Some common foods that contain glutenare – pizza, bread, pasta, cake, cookies, and even crackers.

Gluten intolerance causes a condition we know as Celiac Disease. As many as 2 million Americans or more suffer from Celiac Disease but don’t even know it, because the symptoms are so varied.

Symptoms of Celiac Diesase after eating gluten can include chronic diarrhea, gas, bloating, acid reflux, and constipation.

Studies have shown that infertility is more common in women with untreated Celiac Disease than those without it. It can also increase the chance of miscarriage or premature births, and can lead to menstrual irregularities and hormone disruption.

In men, Celiac Disease can reduce testosterone, and cause a low sperm count or abnormal sperm.

So think about getting screened for Celiac Disease if you suffer from repeated miscarriages, or are unable to conceive for unknown reasons – especially if you suffer any of the most common symptoms.

In the Organic Fertility Bible we talk more about Celiac Disease and overcoming it with the Fertility Diet.

I want to know if anyone has ever taken herbs (and no prescription drugs) and was able to go on to conceive. If so, what kind of herbs did you try and for how long?
I have been reading about different herbs such as Maca that is supposed to regulate a woman’s hormones naturally. ***My background I am 28, i do not have kids, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, I produce more estrogen and not enough progesterone, and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time now without any luck. I plan to get insurance at my job in May during open enrollement so I can get fertility medicine but I am hoping that maybe if I try the herbal route that it may work and I can finally be a mommy.
Thank you in advance,
Melissa
