I actually don't know the answers to your questions since I've not had either of those particular GI problems before (just all of the other ones imaginable), but I just wanted to say Congrats!

Congrats!!!

From the tums website: Open Original Shared Link

I take them occasionally, and they've not glutened me. But I don't really find them to be super helpful with the heartburn, either. :( A piece of hard candy, though, seems to work wonders.

If it's really bad, talk to your doctor about a medication for it.

As for the other issue... I'm 32 weeks and it comes with the pregnancy territory. :lol:

Drink lots of water, fruit always helped me, too. I experienced this early on, too, but it wore off by the second trimester, when everything seems to calm down. I would strongly recommend you call your doctor before you take anything, because the first trimester is the "danger zone", so to speak. The list of things you can safely take gets bigger in the second trimester, even bigger by the third. It all has to do with what is developing when.

Make sure to check with your pharmacist. Doctors aren't usually totally up to date on all medications and restrictions, and pharmacists continually increase their knowledge and have a computer database that can help

fennel seeds (which are safe during pregnancy) can help with indigestion/heartburn.

eat small meals, frequently.

drink lots of water throughout the day - but drink hot, room temp, or cool water, as ice cold water may make it worse.

try to determine if there are any particular foods that make the problem worse.

Congratulations!!! :)

The prenatal vitamins may also be causing you to be constipated.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
