SMH

Sheesh... My pregnant daughter had complications due to being glutened and one of the things they had to do was perform a cerclage (stitching the cervix closed) to help the baby stay in till it is time to be born. Another thing is to give her prometrium (a type of progesterone) to help her not go into labor and to accelerate the baby's lungs into being mature enough to be born early. She told all her doctors that she is a Celiac and very sensitive. They assured her that the prometrium was GF and it was, however when I researched it, it turns out that the gelatin capsules are dusted in wheat flour to prevent sticking. You have to fully vet every little piece of everything before trusting it always. She had taken these pills for most of a week before I thought to research them. I feel so guilty now.
