We lost the little bun in the oven :( We'll start trying again when the man gets home from his deployment .

I'm ok, just eating frosting out of the container LOL. It's hard but I am thankful for the gluten free junk food you guys have showed me XD.

Oh, I am so very sorry. Such a loss is always painful. I agree - there's nothing like sweets when you are hurting.

Aw, K8! I know from experience its hard, even early on. But I also know that a pregnancy can happen again, when the time is right.

Continue with the junk food!

Thanks for all the support! We were pretty disappointed. It was worse on me because I saw it yesterday in an ultrasound and then today it was just gone. I have some GREAT pain pills and my husband took it pretty well (although he wants to try again when he gets home and so do I and we know it's just our parent sides being impractical). Anyway, I was asking the doctor if maybe my Celiac had something ot do with it and he said that being diagnosed could have messed with my hormones a bit. My body had to make some adjustments. So I am staying off birth control to let my body adjust. I told my husband it's HIS turn to worry about birth control LOL.

Thank you all so much. I am sure once my percocet wears off and my Pamelas Ginger Cookies are gone I'm going to be pretty sad. TOmorrow I booked a massage and I'm going to spend the day pampering myself while my son is at school. It's messed up that I still will have symptoms of pregnancy for up to a week. ALso, I have a baby bump (it's tiny but there) and I get sad whenever I see it.

Hmm...I think it's time to move onto snickers LOL.

I'm so sorry! :( I've been there (3 times) and there's nothing that can make it better. You're doing the best thing you can by resting and pampering yourself.

When you get to feeling a little bit better you might consider checking out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" for a source of birth control.

You are absolutely right. I would have been pregnant and/or delivering the baby alone, and since I got so sick with my son, my doctor told me being pregnant could kill me. My husband would have missed too much...and with the possibility of death thrown in there it's hard to not be slightly relieved. I am sad, he is sad, and we are coping, but we are also thankful that things happen for a reason.

I think the hardest part was telling people we lost it. I had to tell everyone that I was pregnant because I was SO sick. And I still have symptoms (although they are less now) so it's hard to explain that I might still be nauseous for a few days.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
