I was just diagnosed with Celiac last week. I'm 15 weeks pregnant with #5 & the only reason I got tested was b/c I had to have blood drawn anyway at my last OB appt & my oldest DD was diagnosed last month after a month of stomach pain.

I'm petrified of miscarriage & stillbirth - altho my other 4 were fine, big (8 to 9.5 lb) babies.

The GI Dr seemed to think that altho I'm asymptomatic, that I've had this for a while.

I'm trying to go gluten free - however this is quite a learning process. It just figures - I finally get over 9 weeks of constant nausea, finally have an appetite & 1/2 of what I normally eat is now off limits - - there is no justice! :rolleyes:

No need to be scared; just be happy you were diagnosed now rather than later. There's always a silver lining in there somewhere :rolleyes::D

No better time to start eating what is healthy for you and the new baby than right now :D --get him off to a good start! Fortunately, the food you should be eating is very nutritious and full of what baby needs; meat, fish, rice, fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. You are obviously already familiar with the gluten free diet from your daughter's diagnosis. Since your are asymptomatic you may not have done much damage to your villi and will probably handle dairy okay too. If you straighten up and fly right you really shouldn't worry too much about the baby being affected, being as he is four months now and you had no problems with the other children.

Good luck on your gluten free journey.

Thankfully I don't seem to be lactose intolerant - I'd really lose my mind if I had to give up cheese & milk!

I will miss my whole grains tho - I love Kashi products - - well, rather, I "loved" Kashi...

What are your test results like ?

Do you have antigliadin antibodies ?

I've been trying to find someone with only antigliadin igA and IgG markers set for celiacs but don't find anyone.

Take care

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
