Hello
We are planning for a second pregnancy and my husband has gluten allergy for a long time but very mild symptoms appearing very rarely(like skin allergy)till 2022.
After my first baby was born(2022) it became worse and when we consulted the dermatologist he told us it was a gluten allergy. My baby is 2.5 years old and doesn't have a gluten allergy.
But now as we are planning for second pregnancy,we are worried about what if the baby gets gluten allergy.
My husband's work pressure is more and his lifestyle was not good(sleeping and food timings were not at the proper time)
Now however he has changed his lifestyle better but still he has gluten allergy.
Will the baby inherit gluten allergy from the father?In his family nobody has this disease

The genetic link is less clear for NCGS.
* Wheat Allergy: A traditional food allergy to wheat, not just gluten.
In summary, for your second pregnancy:
* Increased Risk, Not Certainty: Your baby will have an increased genetic risk for celiac disease because your husband has it, even if no one else in his family does. However, it's not guaranteed that the baby will inherit the predisposing genes, and even if they do, it's not guaranteed they will develop the condition.
* Monitoring is Key: If your baby does show symptoms related to gluten exposure once introduced into their diet (e.g., digestive issues, failure to thrive), it would be prudent to discuss testing for celiac disease with your pediatrician.
