Resolved Question

I have celiac disease, do you think it would be cruel to have a child I know will have it too?

Celiac Disease is a disease where you are allergic to wheat and flour, if eaten enough it can cause serious damage and even death. It is painful and causes me a lot of embarrassing moments if I come into contact with it. Is that fair to do to a child just because I want to be a mother one day? Im torn

I have a cousin with Celiac and her two daughters have it also. I've noticed that there are many more products being put out that are gluten free these days, and it's easier all the time to stay gluten free. Besides, she says she doesn't miss foods at all that have gluten because it makes her so sick. So I don't think it's cruelty to want to have a child with this condition. Besides, it's not a sure thing that your child would inherit from you!

adopt a child if you are so worried. I have two adopted and 4 not adopted. There is no difference.

I don't have coeliac, but I am allergic to wheat and gluten. I think food allergies are becoming much more commonplace in society, in addition to conditions like diabetes and people who choose vegetarian or vegan diets. I think having a child is fair enough. Good luck
