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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
