I just wanted to see what everyone's staple foods were when you are pregnant. We are already limited by having Celiac, and now even more limited when pregnant. I find that the cooked sushi that we can eat is just not as good as the real/raw fish. I have to most trouble at lunch. Since we aren't really supposed to eat lunch meats or tuna, what do you guys have for lunch besides a homemade salad??? I am getting sick of peanut butter and jelly! (Also getting sick of the gluten-free bread I have been eating) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I am in my 17th week, and just found out we are having a BOY!!!!! Very excited!

What about salmon? Whether it's in a sandwich or with salad, it's a nutritious choice. Chicken is good too. Personally, I chose to eat tuna anyway during my pregnancies, but was careful about not having it too often.

Since you are watching out about luncheon meats, do be careful about cheeses from the deli as well...they can be cross-contaminated with listeria from the sliced meats. I preferred to buy prepackaged pasteurized cheese from the dairy aisle instead. The luncheon meats, BTW, can be eaten if they are cooked before eating (to kill any potential listeria).

I'm not pregnant, but I never take lunchmeat for lunches anyway. I usually do leftovers, just cooking extra for dinners. That, along with fruit and raw veggies. Or hummus to go with those veggies.

I've got to say that my favorite lunch would be Mission corn tortillas with cheddar cheese melted on them and folded over - dipped in spicy ranch. Then to make it a little more healthy - I love purple grapes!! Mmm... that sounds good right now!!! (I'm just barely pregnant - haven't gone to the doctor yet - but guessing I'm about 4 weeks.) It's a fast, easy lunch if you're not feeling very well. (Though you're probably past any kind of "morning" sickness.) Another good idea is to just bake a potato and put your choice of toppings on it. If you bake it in the microwave - it's also a fast lunch. I agree with the salmon comment too - I'm not big on a lot of meat...but I love fish, especially salmon!! Yum, Yum, Yum!! Good luck and congrats!!

My favorite food while I was pregnant was quesadillas-melted cheese between two corn tortillas, with sour cream, salsa, and tomatoes spread on top. I would use a pizza cutter to cut into 8 wedges, to make it easier to eat, like a pizza. I ate about 2 or 3 of these a day while I was pregnant, but my intense craving for them went away when the baby arrived.

BTW, I had a beautiful baby girl on July 5th. Perfectly healthy (and praying for no celiac gene!!), 8 lbs. 1 oz. Even with all of my mistakes during my pregnancy with gluten, she had no problems at all.

Good luck finding that one food that will become your staple. Whoppers were it for me my first pregnancy, but thank God that wasn't an option for me this time!! :huh:

Congratulations on your new arrival!!! So exciting. Are you breastfeeding? Thanks for the suggestions on the quesadillas everyone. They sound good. Maybe I will try that. Although, they won't be hot anymore by the time I eat them at work.

My day long nasea s horrible, I was really happy to find EnerG crackers. They have a great texture, much less heavy than gluten free breads which I find to be too much. I buy them in shoprite- so they should be accessible anywhere!

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and...

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
