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.

      Hello, I'm I crazy, nieve, or atomistic? I reached out to my former pcp of 25 years on the medical app today.Reading on the National Library of Medicine 75.6  physicians don't know celiac disease.To be fair he is primary and with the lack of knowledge, I did reach out because he was my Dr for 25 years.I do prefer his app than the one I currently have that was ignite of the disability celiac circus name chaser thanks to the one that  I currently have Since May 31, 2025 to present.

      @cristiana, I'm thinking the intensity of our response to the same amount of gluten can vary from time to time. Our bodies are a dynamic entity.

      I'm going to try Jersey Mike's soon--we have one nearby. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi @trents Two things can happen:  1/ For a very small gluten hit, I will get a slightly sore stomach for a few days, maybe a day or two following the glutening, and (TMI warning) maybe slightly loose BMs with mucus  for a couple of days.  2/ For a substantial glutening, and thankfully it's only happened once in recent years,  I get bad chills, followed by vomiting, and my heartbeat is all over the place and I can hardly stand.  It's pretty extreme.  That happens within about 2 hours of eating the gluten.  I might feel slightly dizzy for a couple of days after the glutening episode. Interestingly I've just been out to a cafe which hitherto has made a big thing about how their french fries are cooked in a separate fryer.  I shared some with a friend and they were served with chilli sauce, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and fried onions.  Definitely not health food!  Anyway,  I'd eaten half when I realised I'd not checked the menu to ensure that this dish is still gluten-free - and it turns out it isn't!!!  They've changed the ingredients and the fried onions are now cooked with wheat.   I came home expecting to feel dreadful as I had no idea how much gluten I have consumed but so far if anything I feel just little queasy.  I think I'd have thrown up by now had there been a lot of gluten in the onions.

      It might be wise to start him on small amounts and work up to 10g. Monitor how he reacts. Some people simply cannot complete the gluten challenge because it makes them too ill. By the way, you can buy powdered gluten in health food stores, at least here in the states you can. With a food scale, it would be easy to measure the amount being consumed in a day. I'm not sure what the intensity of reaction to gluten tells you about what's actually going on with regard to celiac disease. I mean there are some celiacs like me who don't seem to react to minor exposure amounts but who get violently ill with larger exposures. Then there are celiacs who get some kind of reaction to even the tiniest amount of exposure but don't necessarily get violently ill. And how the reaction manifests itself is very different for different people. Some, like me, experience emesis and diarrhea. Others just get brain fog. Others get joint pain. It's all over the map.
