I'm Pregnant, Yeah!

I found out last week that I'm pregnant. I'm only 4 weeks today, but I've been having symptoms since a few days after conception, but I thought I had been glutened in the beginning. I didn't even need a pregnancy test (although I took two) because it was completely obvious what was going on. I'm already up a bra size!

I'm having a hard time with the nausea. I'm used to feeling so good unless I'm glutened that it is weird to not feel so good. When I'm glutened my stomach hurts and I feel queasy, so when I keep feeling queasy because of the baby I keep freaking myself out thinking I've glutened myself even though I don't get any other glutening symptoms. Being tired all the time is another thing that happens when I'm glutened. I think I'm so used to being tuned into my body to make sure that I didn't eat anything bad, that I'm thinking about these symptoms more than normal. I even pee a lot when I'm glutened, and that is happening now as well. I'm trying to remember all this is normal, and certainly doesn't feel as bad as being glutened.

We are so excited because we have to wait to start trying because I was only diagnosed in January.

Congrats! You'll feel better soon! Keep hydrated, you know, you have to keep enough fluids with all that peeing! ;) (I had lots of trouble with dehydration in my pregnancies)

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
