Please do not have Dr. Callan care for you when you are pregnant. I had a difficult pregnancy due to undiagnosed Celiac Disease. I complained my whole pregnancy of nausea, throwing up and other digestive problems and she just attributed it to extreme morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum. The thing is this diagnosis usually goes away after the first trimester. Mine lasted the whole pregnancy. She never ordered any specific medical tests to properly diagnose my symptoms but just assumed I had this hyperemesis gravidarum. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition, and like all autoimmune conditions, they can get either better or much worse during pregnancy for reasons unknown. A year after my pregnancy I was diagnosed by my gastroenterologist with Celiac Disease and he told me that I most likely had it when I was pregnant due to the symptoms I had when I was pregnant. Two years after that my baby (who I was pregnant with under Dr. Callan's care) was diagnosed with autism. There are many evidenced-based studies that link untreated autoimmune diseases in mothers with having children with autism. How does this happen? The antibodies produced from the autoimmune disease in the mother while pregnant cross the placenta and enter into the baby's body affecting brain growth in the baby. If Dr. Callan had taken my symtpoms more seriously and not just assumed it was a bad case of morning sickness (again morning sickness rarely lasts past the first trimester and mine was the whole pregnancy) and all she said to do was just drink plendy of fluids, eat slowly and lightly and get rest, my child would not have autism today. If she had taken the time and interest in my baby and my health at the time to properly research the symptoms I had, I could have had a simple blood test that would have revealed the TTG antibodies in my system that would have lead to the accurate diagnosis of Celiac Disease. This would have allowed for the treatment I should have had which was a strict gluten free diet thereby stopping my body from producing the antibodies that affected my child's brain and caused a developmental delay and diagnosis of autism. Again, please to not have this woman care for you if you are pregnant. She doesn't give the time, effort or care that a doctor should when treating patients, especially ones who are pregnant.
