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!

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      CT with contrast.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
