If a woman with untreated celiac does conceive, the fetus potentially could be at risk: An Italian study published in 2010 demonstrated that anti-transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies in the blood — a hallmark of untreated celiac disease — can interfere with the function of the placenta, possibly leading to early loss of the pregnancy.

Pregnant women with mid to high levels of antibodies common in patients with celiac disease are at risk for having babies with reduced fetal weight and birth weight, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association.

Researchers conducted a population - based perspective birth cohort study of 7,046 pregnant women, and categorized subjects into three groups: negative anti-tTG (control), intermediate anti-tTG (just below the clinical cut - off point used to diagnose patients with celiac disease) and positive anti-tTG (highly probable celiac disease patients).
