A Celiacs Prego Cravings!

I have been browsing the baby forum boards and reading the posts they have about their cravings.  I do not even belong to my species! hahah  I see all of this fast food, and junk food, and processed food they are dying to eat and salivating over.  Its just not polite to mention it there so I won't.  Me though?  I am craving crunchy Kale salads, and blueberries, and hot butternut squash soups, oh and APPLESAUCE.. the home made crock pot kind.  While it is true and am pretty much too tired to cook, these are the things I drool/think about.  It is all so ridiculously healthy! Ive won the prego lottery in that dept., no? LOL

 

OH OH OH AND also... Oven roasted garlic.  I want to eat that stuff in the night... oh yeah...

 

 

bananas... cantaloupe....

 

 

about the only thing I can think of that is bad for me but I want anyway is gatorade.  I figure that is not too bad?  I know I should skip it because of the sugar content though. I end up semi dehydrated at the end of a long  work day and I can just guzzle that stuff.  It does not even taste good, but I want it anyway.  Bizarre how it feels like I have no food self control lately.

LOL  That's pretty impressive!  Maybe you are growing a little healthy eater in there.  ;)  I hope it stays like this for you - that's just awesome.  :)

 

I lived on ice tea mixes in the first few months of my pregnancies.  Food didn't stay in even if I could get it in.  Heck, I couldn't even stand the smell of my upper lip - I think I washed 10 times a day.  LOL

And they say that whatever you eat is what your child will like. You're already training your child to eat healthy!

 

The roasted garlic? That's easy to make (as I'm sure you know) so you should go for it. Roast the whole cloves, then cut off the tip. Squeeze it out onto a slice of Udi's, spread it, and dip in olive oil. You'll think you've died and gone to heaven.

But get your husband to have some too or he won't come near you... Of course, that could be a blessing depending on how you are feeling that day.  ;)

YAY!  I have some energy this evening. Well.. that is something. Been coming home..removing shoes.. eating food and going to bed. SO is complaining a little because I am out cold in about 90 seconds LOL

 

I am glad I am not having cravings for things that are not exactly healthy. I WILL SHARE THAT GARLIC OH YEAH!!! Mouhahahhaha

 

Prego spaghetto sauce.. VERY FUNNY LADIES!

 

I instructed the SO that if he and my daughter NEED TO EAT and I have not made anything..emergency method of tinlkyada pasta and jarred Classico sauce are safe!  I have no idea about Prego though! That would be ...ironic!

 

I played classical music for my daughter oh so long ago, whilst pregnant and when I brought her home from the hospital and played it...she had the same look on her face as when she heard my voice for the first time. She got all quiet and wide eyed and focused.  She turned out quite the intelligent young lady, too.  This time I will do the same and the SO wants to play acoustic guitar for it while it is baking in me too.

 

has a small freak out today and called the Doc.  I do not think I trust the info though and I cannot really find the answer online.  I do not eat grains. except small amounts of rice.... so I am REALLY missing the whole folic acid thing. I have been supplementing of course but .. maybe it is just not enough because I know I have absorption issues. I have been doing heavy doses of the Vit D and a huge Bcomplex deal..and also the folic acid... but just in REGULAR person prenatal amounts (except the excessive Vit D Rx I have)... and so I called.. and the front desk lady said oh... 800 of folic acid.  THAT IS THE REGULAR AMOUNT in most prenatal vitamins.

 

So.. I think I should take more.. but she never even asked the doctor... I have not SEEN the doctor yet (may 19) to ask either and that is almost 12 weeks in.  It seems like that is a bigger chunk of time not getting enough that it should be.  I do not know what to DO!

 

THEN  I sent the SO to Walgreens to pick up GUMMI prenatals..as I thought well. I will just add THOSE to what I already take. I was on the phone with him.. he said he found them and he checked them for wheat.. and no wheat. *SIGHS*  HE DID NOT READ THE PART WHERE IT SAID PROCESSED on the SAME EQUIPMENT SHELLFISH!!!

 

Also.. they were not gummis... they are some kind of chewable tablet.  Cant take them back because he thought he was being sweet and opened them all up for me.

 

They have a gummi bear on the front but they clearly say tablets... and We had a whole convo about how the smell makes me vomit so i NEED THE GUMMIS!!!

 

I do not want to tell him the screw up at this point.  SO I will pass them on to my newly pregnant boss in the morning. and then go buy them MYSELF. the RIGHT KIND.

 

END RANT.

 

I will know the sex in the next month or so. I am 39 so all that genetic testing is about to happen and as a byline they tell you the gender. :D  I DID start my job.. I qualify for the disability abaout 2 weeks before I am due so THAT is good. and I will get christmas and news years with my maternity leave mouahhahahah

 

I am thinking I will do a Who from Whoville as the baby announcement after the birth.  Have to find a fun and creative photographer :D

 

with this quote on it!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
