Frustrated!

Ok guys, I'm confused.

I am an AWESOME Celiac... I NEVER cheat, I never looked back once the diet started and I was diagnosed. Now that I am pregnant, though, my body is turning on it's head!

Like last time, I am still nauseous ALL THE TIME, to the point that I really don't want to leave the bathroom. But now I am craving things I absolutely cannot eat. Like tonight, I was so upset because I felt sick and suddenly I was starving and wanted Pizza Hut breadsticks. I haven't had those for YEARS and even if I could eat gluten I would get sick from all the grease...I eat so healthy that it would tear me up.

So, what am I going to do about this? I have 8 months to go... At this rate I'll never make it XD

Have you tried King Arthur's gluten-free pizza recipe? It's the closest I have found to Pizza Hut dough. I bet it would make good bread sticks, just drizzle a little extra oil on the top of them and top with parmesan and garlic salt.

Try eating more protein. Your body is trying to grow a baby and your need for protein is increased.

I find that I have really strong cravings for things that are not good for me usually only when I haven't been eating enough protein. (But then again I'm not pregnant, so take this with a grain of salt)

I think cravings are our bodies way of telling us it wants more nutrition.

Why don't we crave protein then? I don't know the answer to that one.

I hope you don't get nauseous from protein.

Anyway, that would be a simple thing to try.

Good luck

You'll probably just have to get creative in satisfying cravings unless you can just distract yourself! Maybe try focusing on the flavor of what you're craving. Like with the pizza hut breadsticks, besides all the grease, I remember a lot of parmesan cheese and italian seasoning. So maybe you could fix something that has those ingredients but isn't necessarily breadsticks.

I think King Arthur brand has done an outstanding job with their gluten-free line of mixes. It is better than Betty Crocker, by far, and I think they are soy free also. At least the ones I have tried were.

I cannot offer any advice on the morning sickness, as I have never been pregnant, but I was severely nauseous for a whole year, pre-diagnosis. It was awful and I do not know how all the pregnant ladies deal with that. I admire your fortitude!

Oh man as soon as I can get the morning sickness under control I am making that breadstick recipe. I think it IS the salt and whatnot I am craving.

Well hopefully I'll be able to eat somewhat normally soon :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      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?
