Good Lord, I'm Scared Reading This Website!

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

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
