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!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
