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.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Fusilli Pizzeria, Miller Place, NY

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
