Pregnant And Missing Gluten!

Does anyone else feel this way??? When I am not pregnant I don't miss it at all! I am SO sensitive and my attacks last days now that I am getting a little older that I don't want anything at all to do with gluten!!! I have been diagnosed over 12+ years ago, and it seems like now that I am pregnant with my 3rd I am craving it. It doesn't matter what commercial I see on TV or what place I drive by...I can smell it, taste it and just plain want it! Actually I don't crave anything much right now, and hardly eat at all because I have been so nauseas...hoping the next few weeks fly by right into 2nd trimester!!! BUT that doesn't seem to make me want this any less. Need some celiac companions to help me feel sorry for myself :D Thanks for letting me share! Why me? Why now??? AHHHHH!!!!!!

I didn't get a direct craving for gluten, but I did want my old favorite munchies. At some point, I gave in to the carb cravings and increased my purchases of the gluten free substitutes. gluten-free waffles have kept me happy recently. Fortunately with my pregnancy, the cravings went in waves and I moved on to something new every month or so.

Congrats and remember this craving will pass.

OH MY GOODNESS I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!! I actually wrote a post about how I was craving Pizza Hut Breadsticks!!!!!! My doctor thinks I'm not getting enough fat so my body is craving stuff that it knows will fatten me up. Today, however I was craving pastrami so I had hot pastrami and provolone on toasted Udi's with mayo and mustard... SO GOOD! Naturally the morning sickness returned shortly thereafter but...at least I got a short reprieve.

Also, I have noticed that this pregnancy is MUCH WORSE, I can barely eat anything at all, and I have been to the ER 3 times for fluids and zofran in the past month. Not cool. I wonder if it has to do with diet...

I had a craving for BLTs during my pregnancy. I usually don't really like them, but I had two (on Udi's bread) one week in my first trimester. They were fabulous. And I didn't want any more! WACKY!

Isn't that just wild! I know exactly what you are saying K8ling. Maybe it is because I have been SO sick this pregnancy too! I am taking phenergan. Used to be all day morning sickness but it is getting better with acupuncture! UGH! BUT now all I want is arby's (really?) papa john's pizza (thought about writing a letter to them to see WHY Oh WHY they can't make a gluten free pizza) Subway (not in texas so no trial here for the gluten free bread) Penn Station philly cheesesteak sandwhich (the bread really) Olive Garden breadsticks...and yes I even want a WHOPPER! ALL 2000 calories! Sorry if I made anyone's mouth water...just need to get that OUT! I never crave this stuff...it makes me SO sick...but I can't help it. AND to be honest nothing really ever sounds good...not really craving much, just what I can keep down, and it is never any items remotely like these.

      Fiber Supplement

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements. My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium. Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that. Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums,...

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
