Can a mother's gastrointestinal disorder cause defects in the fetus?

Two possible scenarios where it could happen:
- Toxicity from a disease carrying over to the fetus - this is really more a matter of the disease organism causing both the disorder and the defect rather than the disorder being the cause.
- Malnutrition and depletion of critical vitamins and minerals as a result of the gastrointestinal disorder, impairing fetal development - this is a much more likely issue than the first one.
