Pregnancy Dreams/anxiety

I don't know where to post this really.

 

I am 28 and not at all looking to get pregnant at this point in my life. Since I have started my gluten challenge I have had an irrational fear and anxiety of becoming pregnant. I have not bought a pregnancy test yet because I think that will validate the crazy I am feeling. But I am tempted to every day. I know the bloat is from water retention and I've likely gained weight from eating whatever I want the past 2 weeks and decreasing my gym time from five days to 1-2 days a week. I have the Mirena IUD so the chances of pregnancy are slim, especially since infertility is linked to Celiac's.

 

I just thought I would share that it is freaking me out and causing a lot of anxiety in my world.

There is no harm in taking a test, even though the reasons for taking it are irrational, if you have that seed in your mind, there is no way it will go away until you do.  :)

So I should give in to the anxiety and take a test? Hopefully this doesn't lead to more crazy anxiety situations... This gluten challenge is really making me crazy. My mood is all over the place.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      Question about biopsy

      By somethinglikeolivia · Posted

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...
