Celiac, Pregnancy, And Cravings


RBC

Recommended Posts

RBC Newbie

I am 9 weeks pregnant, and I find that the only "cravings" I am having are for things that I cannot have. I recently found out that I have a dairy intolerance, in addition to celiac (became apparent with the pregnancy). So recently, I have found myself frustrated and upset because I want things like fried chicken, and po-boy sandwhichs. (yes, i live in new orleans!) Both being things that I never eat, even gluten free because I just don't eat that way anymore. (unhealthy) But, now it's like when I want it, I get so upset because I can't have it. Even if I make it at home, gluten-free, I am still not satisfied bc I know the "real thing" is better. Any advice on how to deal with this emotional side of being a pregnant celiac? I feel like I am just constantly unsatisfied...

I know exactly how you feel!!!!! I crave everything I can't have too, and always feel like I am not satisfied. I am now 20 weeks pregnant, and all I want is chocolate. ha. I do have the problem of never knowing what I want to eat, and always being limited, especially for lunch. It is definitely frustrated and I can relate!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
