You're lucky you're so young. By the time you face that problem you will be craving gluten free foods :lol:

I wish I had known about my thyroid disorder and problems with gluten before I got pregnant (since they increase your risk of complications and loss), but I never had cravings for gluten foods. The first time I was hungry for raw tomatoes (I ate them like apples) and beef. The second time I wanted french fries with TONS of ketchup :P The third time all I wanted was Mexican food (guacamole, salsa, beans) and root beer. Funny what you crave... it might not be what you expect ;)

I'm almost 19 weeks pregnant and have been gluten-free a little over a year. I don't quite understand the question - as I've found I can make or buy just about anything gluten free that tastes great. So I haven't craved any gluten - but I have craved toast with peanut butter which I made on homemade gluten-free bread. And we have a great local bakery who makes killer pizza crusts so when I crave pizza I'm set too. But to be honest, I'm finding I crave fruit more than anything. I'm sure you'll be fine and won't be craving gluten at all -I mean, would you crave arsenic? After accidentally having gluten a few times and having to recover, that's how I look at it now.

I was not diagnosed celiac when I was pregnant. I didn't seem to have a problem until my second child was 14 months old. Anyway, I craved apples with the first successfull pregnancy and had a strong adversion to all seafood (which I love). My oldest is now 8 and I have just in the last year been able to tolerate tuna. Everything else I was ok with after he was born. With my last pregnancy (my second child) I craved lamb and could not get enough fresh fish and shrimp. I still could not stomach the smell of tuna or clam chowder though. Funny how with one I could not stand seafood and the other I was fine. Weird! ;)

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!
