Horrible Morning Sickness...want A Saltine!

But no, I wont eat one!!! I am about 6 weeks pregnant and I am throwing up everything...I was handling Kefir smoothies (added almond milk, flax seed, gluten-free oats, and fruit to them) pretty well, but no longer.

Does anyone have any good suggestions? Rice crackers arent cutting the mustard, gingerale is good but that is about it!

Any help is MUCH appreciated!

When my stomach is this upset I eat a baked potato with EVOO and extra salt. Marcia Hope you feel better. Congratulations though.

Also, try drinking 4 oz of plain kefir. It really calms my stomach for some reason.

Some nausea busters to try:

cold water with lemon

ginger (not gingerale, but in other forms...I'm partial to candied ginger)

sea bands

Preggie Pops Open Original Shared Link

Ingredients:

Sugar, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, (made from the essential oils of ginger, lavender, peppermint, spearmint, raspberry, lemon and tangerine) and Natural Colors Added (tumeric, red cabbage, annatto & beet color).

We like Ener-G Wheat Free Crackers. As bad as their bread is, these crackers are awesome. I buy them by the case because my kids and I eat them all the time.

Schar crackers are excellent. They're about as close to a "real" cracker as you're probably going to come.

As per the suggestion of preggie pops, they are gluten free, but they're made in a facility that also processes wheat products. Use at your own risk.

i second the ener-g crackers. they taste a lot like saltines, also toast works well too. anything dry.

Much appreciated,

Congratulations! I drink boost. I could get that down and it has a lot of calories and protein. The sea bands did work a little for me. Dum Dums are also good, I think there is something about the sugar and they are easy to keep handy.

Lay's Stax are also good if you can't find any good crackers.

Hope you feel better soon.

The only things I kept down were fresh strawberries and Corn Chex (this was before I had a known problem with gluten, but you could find gluten free corn chex, they're called "Corn Crunch-ems," and they taste exactly like corn chex!). I TRIED to eat saltines because everyone kept telling me to. Now I understand why they wouldn't stay down!

Glutino bread sticks have about the same texture as Saltines. They come in sessame and pizza flavours.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

I finally tried some of Pamela's Bread mix, and whoa! I still cant believe how much it resembles "real" bread! The plain toast has been refreshing!

Thanks again for all of the great ideas! :D

Heidi,

Wow, girl! Congratulations on your pregnancy :) how exciting for your family!!!!!!!

I love energ's pretzels...I am actually eating them right now. And whole foods pizza crust (I use it for everything, not just pizza) is great, as well as Trader Joe's french rolls (they are really really big, so I slice them to make little thin slices....into like 3 or 4) and then make sandwiches with them.

Hope you find some relief!!!!! Congratulations! Please keep us updated.

xoxo,

Laura

Sorry you are so sick. Instead of Saltines, try Glutino prezels. I just discovered them (they were a xmas gift!!) and I'm addicted. I am not pregnant, but we're trying. Everyone I know eats Saltines during pregnancy, but if/when I get pregnant, you can bet I'll be carryng around those pretzels! BTW, I found them at Whole Foods market, or I'm sure you can get them online.

I found dehydration made me feel worse at the beginning of my pregnancies, so keep hydrated and be sure you're getting your electrolytes. I've read on the internet that you can make your own "electrolyte" solution like they do when they're battling dehydration in third world countries -- 7 tsp. sugar and one tsp. salt per quart of water. Or you could get Gatorade or some other commercially made beverage.

I also found that even though I didn't want a real meal, if I ate meat, veggies, and potatoes, it made me feel somewhat better.

I sucked on Jolly Ranchers all day long to keep from vomiting. Something about how sour they are ... I can't even bear to LOOK at them now!!!

Don't take your prenatals if they make you nauseous (talk to your doc, but this is what mine told me). Extra B6 helps with nausea (according to my doc) -- but it's best to take the B vitamins together, so a B complex may help if you can stomach it.

When I was pregnant, I would always throw up if I waited too long to eat .. . as long as I ate SOMETHING every two or three hours, I was usually okay.

BUT when I had waited too long and knew I was goign to throw up, I really liked to eat mashed potatoes. They didn't really sound good or taste great, but they were REALLY easy to throw up. And once I threw up one time, I could usually keep down the rest of my food.

Also, peppermint can really help with the nausea. My sister drank peppermint tea, but I preferred peppermint gum or altoids. Good luck!

Rice or popcorn cakes helped slightly. Almonds and fruit helped. mostly bland foods that were easy to make. I am now 19 weeks pregnant, so I am not really sick anymore. As long as I always had something in my stomach I was o.k. otherwise I would throw up. You'll get through it.

I wasn't yet diagnosed when I was pregnant, but the saltines did NOT stay down! What did stay down were popsicles, yogurt, fresh strawberries, nuts, and dry Corn Chex (there is a gluten-free version called corn crunchems).

Hope you feel better! Keep a water bottle with you at all times, and keep sipping at it--if you get dehydrated, it makes the nausea a lot worse.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
