I am going on 5 weeks PG with my 9th PG. (4 living, 4 m/c's) I have had 3 m/c's in the past year and just found I am Celiac this past year so I am hoping that by going gluten-free that I can keep this PG! I don't know for a fact that Celiac cause my m/c's but it's a possibility. I am also on Prometrium so I am hoping that one or the other (or both!) will do the trick.

So, I am experienced in PG's but not in a Celiac PG. KWIM? Do any of you have some advice for a Celiac newbie? TIA!

congratulations on your pregnancy! i was dx'ed in February after two miscarriages, and a host of other medical problems so this pregnancy is a blessing! i'm currently 18 weeks.

first piece of advice: DON'T CHEAT!!! My cravings have been pretty intense for things like pizza and oatmeal cream pies (don't ask :lol: ) but I refuse to give in. Things like pizza are easy: make a gluten-free one. For the other things I've just had to find substitutes and they usually do the trick.

Also, take your vitamins. If you haven't had your nutrients levels checked, check them now and supplement for what you are lacking in. I saw a nutritionist for this part. Most doctors offices have nutritionists on staff who maybe a good resource for you but beware - a lot of them also don't know about celiac disease.

congrats again! i hope you have a healthy pregnancy!

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein...
