Eat healthy, whole foods. Get plenty of vegetables, especially leafy green ones*. Stay gluten free, stay hydrated. I don't know that there's anything particularly special other than making sure that you are getting good nutrition, especially calcium, iron, vitamin C, and vitamin K.

*It's possible to take too much folic acid in multiple supplements during pregnancy, but natural sources do not have this problem.

To answer the title question, during my first trimester, I was relatively nauseous and didn't want to eat. I lived off eggs and avocado, for the most part. But healthy fats are good for the little one (and eggs also have lots of choline!).

I agree, lots of whole foods. I found out that I feel better (morning sickness wise) when I have good food in me. Lots of brown rice, quinoa, fresh meats and veggies, I love love love red bell peppers right now.

Good luck TTC!!! Sending you some of my baby dust!

That's true - my hypoglycemia was worse during pregnancy, so I had to be very careful about carbs. Just brown rice on it's own would make me feel icky. Additionally, getting PLENTY of protein can help reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia. (Not eliminate it, but it helps.)

Really! I got a lot of protein and I still ended up with it. Weird.

I just had red quinoa for lunch and it was AWESOME!

      Canker sores

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Studies have shown that individuals with canker sores tend to have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood compared to those without the condition. This suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be a risk factor for developing canker sores.  Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac Disease.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      So Sunday night after writing that post about Losartan was causing weakness in my hips I decided to stop taking it, even if against medical advice.  When I was 12 years old I read a book called The First Hundred Years of Surgery.  It gave me insight to the politics, financials and egos of the world.  My take-away at the time was: one day I'm going to have to find my own cure. Sunday 6 am was 134/60 after Losartan dose Sat nignt. Monday 8 am BP was 118/56 no Losartan sunday night. Tuesday (today) 6 am BP was 126/64. Getting up from the floor is improved. Brain fog improved, vision less foggy, cold feet not as cold, and not feeling like I need to go back to sleep almost as soon as I...

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Stephanie Wakeman · Posted

      Wow, thank you for share Elisal!  We do need to stay focused on the fact we are so much healthier without wheat and gluten as hard as it is! I've learned to love rice and almond flour based sweets and enjoy the corn and plantain chips as my go to salty snacks!

      IDK how common it is but it does happen. I'm celiac, allergic, and intolerant to the fiber in grains. (Fodmaps) So not only do I get sick from cross contamination, also gluten free wheat statch/fiber, and beauty products with wheat will get me. While I don't stop breathing the full body hives and short breath are not fun. Then once I make through that me and the bathroom become reacquaint. Sigh if I didn't feel so much better with the restrictions on my diet I'd feel sorry for myself. Least it makes for some good jokes about how the gremlin that lives in my gut really hates wheat.
