Information about alternative grains including quinoa, teff, amaranth, and millet, encourages readers to incorporate these powerhouses of nutrition into their gluten-free diet.

Tips On Infertility

Posted by: Doctor Medical  :  Category: Health, Health News

About 10% of women, or about 6.1 million women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States, have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Between 10% and 15% of recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage reports the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in an ACOG Practice Bulletin (#24) in 2001, which was reaffirmed in 2008.

Undiagnosed celiac disease increases the risk of miscarriage by 800-900% according to a Celiac Sprue Association USA, Inc. Fact Sheet. Couples struggling with infertility can get help in the form of a new video and tip sheet offered by motivational speaker and author, Lisa A. Lundy, which you can download free from her website.

And just who is Lisa A. Lundy to be talking about infertility tips? In 1994 and 1995 Lundy had a fibroid tumor in her uterus that was over 19 centimeters in size, which equates to being about 8 times larger than the normal size of the uterus itself. In cases of fibroid tumors of this size, which is in the 95th percentile, a complete hysterectomy is the most likely outcome of a myomectomy, the surgery to remove the fibroid. Lundy sought out the skills of a highly trained surgeon, one who routinely did myomectomies of this size, and increased her chances of keeping her uterus.

While Lundy missed having a hysterectomy by a hairline according to the surgeon, most of the tissue needed to support a pregnancy was removed during surgery, leaving her as a patient that was unlikely to be able to carry a baby to term. Lundy surprised the three physicians working with her, her OB-GYN, the neonatologist, and the surgeon who had removed the fibroid, by not only carrying her baby to term but also by growing back her uterine tissue to normal thickness – something that medical science can not explain.
