I have not been diagnosed w/ celiac for very long..maybe 3 years..so I truely dont have a grasp for the diet. HOwever I am pregnant and due ion June and my ketones are high and have been high for the past 2 months and the OB told me to get ready to fail the glucose test (which I took yesterday).

I just read on the INternet that I may not be getting enough carbs..which I could see since I DO NOT cook/bake etc, and dont buy alot of bread products anymore. Or it could be attributed to fasting..

PLease give me some food tips..EASY food tips..espcially for 2 days that I dont get a lunch break at work so I would need something quick for those days..right now I eating those rice krispie bars with the panda on the box..(name escapes me)

TIA

i think that protein bars would be alot better for you than the rice crispy bars.

Or maybe increase the amount of fruit you are eating a bit.

my keytones are high everytime i go to the midwife...i am due in a month...i have taken the glucose test 3 times (i have PCOS and am predisposed to gestational diabetes) and have passed every time. i am also drinking so much liquid in a day (like at least 12 cups of something)..so we have just been writing it off as i am just prone to reading as dehydrated...which is all the keytones are supposed to mean as far as i know...are they supposed to be related to gluten intolerance as well?

but dont fret over the glucose test just because of that...just make sure you're getting plenty of fluids and protein...and good luck :)

I dragged a water bottle and fresh fruit everywhere with me when I was pregnant. I had ketones in my urine, too (I had major problems with nausea and vomiting through the whole of all three pregnancies). For some reason, strawberries were practically the only thing I wanted. I don't know if that would help you, especially if there's a glucose problem, but drinking more water might help. I ate a lot of almonds, too.

      Malt vinegar

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction becau...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination wit...

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 m...

      Malt vinegar

      Yes, I've reacted to malt anything . . . it does come from barley. I'm super careful to avoid anything containing malt or even maltodextrin unless it's labeled from corn.

Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction because your body is no longer accustomed to exposure. Many people report significant symptoms after accidental ingestion, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, or flu-like feelings. You’re not alone in that experience. It may help to be especially cautious with salad dressings, chips, sauces, and restaurant foods, where malt vinegar is sometimes used.

It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination with hematology because of the immune cell changes involved. Focusing on nutrition is absolutely important — many people benefit from working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease to help address malabsorption, weight loss, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You’re doing the right thing by seeking information and support. Make sure you feel comfortable asking your care team direct questions about your biopsy results, treatment plan, and monitoring strategy — you deserve clarity and a coordinated approach.

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 mg weekly is extremely uncommon. In people with celiac disease — especially refractory celiac — there can already be underlying intestinal inflammation or altered mucosal integrity, which might theoretically increase vulnerability, but there isn’t strong published evidence clearly linking stable celiac disease to a markedly higher risk of methotrexate-related bowel perforation. Other factors such as concurrent inflammation, vascular compromise, infection, steroid use, or microscopic colitis may also contribute. It would be reasonable to review the case with a gastroenterologist familiar with refractory celiac and possibly a rheumatologist, and to report the event as a potential adverse drug reaction. I’d also be very interested to hear if others in the community have had similar experiences.
