i'll go with false.
preg and coeliac disease associations are...
prevalence of unrecognised coeliac disease (as a cause of subfertility) is in the range of 2.7-3%.
incidence about 1 in 70
menarche is significantly delayed among untreated patients with coeliac disease
significantly earlier age of menopause.
poorer foetal outcome -- lower birth weights
An increased incidence of miscarriage
rate of caesarean section is almost 30% higher
theotretical risk of neural tube defects due to folate deficiency. trials have not shown a statistical significance in this causal relationship.

| I agree with false as logically in pregnancy the transit time for bowel passage is increased (reduced bowel motility) therefore the absorption is increased and coeliac is improved. Furthermore, due to the autoimmune nature of the disease i imagine that it improves in pregnancy (and relapses in the purperium...) |
