Failed Glucose Test

I am nearly 29 weeks and just got a call that I failed my glucose test. I was really careful leading up to it, all I had for breakfast was Cream of Rice and then my test was at 11:30!! So, now I have to do the 3 hour fasting test and I am nervous for it. I'm just not sure that I can handle two special diets along with this constant morning sickness. I wondered how common it is to fail the first test and pass the second?? That is what I am hoping for!

I also found out I am fairly anemic and have to start taking Iron pills. Icky. But, that I can deal with better than the other! My test is Monday morning, I just hope it goes okay. I don't have any of the indicators or risk factors for diabetes so hopefully it was just a fluke...

Cream of Rice is a simple carb, plus, I'd assume you put sugar on it.

I ate a banana the morning of my glucose test. I found out later, that's what they used years ago for the test! I failed.

I passed the three hour test, then the next pregnancy (my fifth) I refused the test altogether. I'd eat a protein breakfast that morning to be sure your food is not contributing additional sugar for the test.

I failed the first test and was not given the second one. I was put straight away on the GD diet. It's really not bad at all. The main thing was to eat some protein and fat with breakfast and less carbs then. Not sure how many carbs are in cream of wheat. You may find you have to eat less of it than you are now.

Breakfast and lunch were really too much food for me and I found I often couldn't eat all that I was supposed to, nor could I eat my between meal snacks. The main thing is not to take in too many carbs at once and to keep a steady schedule for eating. You can probably eat the same foods you are now. But if you are eating sweets or a lot of fruits and other carby things like rice and beans, you will have to weigh or measure them to make sure you aren't getting too much at once.

I cried when I was put on the diet because I didn't understand it and it seemed overwhelming. Now I'm a type 2 diabetic with food allergies. So I know how tough it can be. Gluten isn't something I have to avoid, but my daughter does so precious little of it comes into the house anyway. And since I can't have dairy or eggs, that lets out regular pasta and most bread for me.

I'm sorry you didn't pass your GD test. I have mine in a couple weeks. Ick! I hope the 3 hour test goes well for you. Hopefully the 1 hour test was wrong and you don't have gestational diabetes!

I actually ate the cream of rice plain, I may be a weirdo but I love it plain with just a bit of milk. My friend also failed the one hour test by eating a banana beforehand- you would think they would warn people about that and save them the headache of the 3 hour!!!

I have heard from quite a few people now that it isn't entirely uncommon to fail the 1 hour and pass the 3 hour, so I am hoping for that. And, if I do have GD then I have to remind myself it is for a short time span and I would certainly survive whatever diet modifications are necessary. So, I am trying not to be too nervous but it will be hard to wait for the results, hopefully they don't take all week!!

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
