So...I take it that being gluten free is NOT a reliable form of birth control???????  ^_^

 

Congratulations on your little gluten free bun in the oven and I wish you the easiest of pregnancies!  :)

Awww, thank you all for the real heartfelts! 

 

I hope it is the easiest of easiest! With my first and only (so far), 18 years ago, I was REALLY sick...and I knew I was prego from probably the 1st week.  This time, I still do not even FEEL pregnant.... except for all of the sudden I have to pee a lot LOL

 

I cried too... I still am. I am basically awed... I thought it would be so much harder. I thought it may never happen.  I am actually scared to pieces something will go wrong, or there will be a miscarry, or bad news on the genetic testing front....

 

I got myself scheduled and they were really great about it.  I mean they are seeing me FAST!.  First appointment is this Saturday!

do not borrow trouble!   this is your little miracle :)  you are gluten-free, (the way your body 'runs' correctly) so this pregnancy should be a walk in the park  ;)  worry = stress <no no no!

my three pregnancys were so hard on me that I was sure I could never handle another one. migraines for the first four months and sick. this was before I knew anything about gluten. I would think you would have a much healthier and easier pregnancy and healthy happy baby now that you are gluten free. best wishes mom

Yep.. I am 5 weeks (that means the fetus is 3 weeks, i think).  I am already insanely tired.  I was never this tired with my daughter. Its like my soul is being sucked out kind of tired.  Maybe it is because I am almost 39.  I have already started with the sickness too :S  Just lunchtime (during work! GAH)  So I have some ginger mints to nibble on discreetly. Everything feels quadruple what it was back when I was prego 18 years ago. I am seriously worried there is more than one baking in there... That would thrill some people, but no..not me.. Hopefully... I am just old and feeling it harder hahahaha The Doc gae me an Rx for phenergan(sp?) for the nausea. I am going to have to figure out a new cooking for the week routine. I am gone 10 hours a day w/ work and I am TOOOOOO Exhausted to do ANYTHING the rest of the time. please please please let there only be one in there!!!

Crockpot? Teen daughter or hub/ BF cook? Sandwiches and fruit and carrot sticks can be a balance meal.

The crock pot requires morning energy.  I have zero.  I am talking walking zombie haha ..its almost comical. They are "grown adults" for all intents and purposes and I trust they will not let themselves starve. They know all the kitchen rules about gluten and grains so I am not worried if they cook for me. I will have to let them get desperate first though bahahahhaha  As long as I take my vitamins, I am pretty sure I have enough weight on me to handle not eating enough calories here and there. That is probably faulty thinking but it is late and Morpheus is now in charge!

Do you have enough morning energy or a kid willing to have it prepped night before, covered with plastic wrap in fridge, pull off wrap and throw it on in the AM?  I will have my husband do that sometimes if I am gone from the house all day for something.  However I totally agree with you that if you stop cooking they will have to start! LOL.... maybe give them some crock pot recipes to to themselves, some are super duper easy.  Heck, throw some chicken thighs, carrots, peppers etc and that teriyaki sauce in there.  Boom done! :)  But yes maybe let them get desperate first :D

Congratulations!!  You know from experience that the first trimester is the worst for fatigue, so permit yourself to rest as much as you can!

Thank you! :D

 

Yeah, there is no "permit" going on. There is only.. OMG! I CANNOT LIFT MY FEET UP TO WALK! I wake up, go to work... somehow survive the day and then I walk in the door and it is all over. Thankfully, my teenager cleaned the house while I was gone yesterday. I hugged her so much and I even cried a little. I was dreading coming home to the mess and there was nothing I could do about it! LOL I was never this tired when I was pregnant in my 20's with her. This is something new for me!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
