I'm Pregnant!

Hey everybody!

It finally happened! I'm pregnant! :wub:

I'm so excited and feel so blessed. Just one issue...the nausea! :blink:

I'm only craving certain foods, and unfortunately, most have gluten. <_<

I've been able to pacify all of them with gluten-free substitutes but one...

I REALLY want some "original" ....genuine, "Saltine Crackers." Not just any soda crackers, but that brand. :rolleyes: Good grief! (who knew my baby would crave name-brand foods)? :P

Does anybody have any suggestions of very similar gluten-free substitutes? Please help.

Much love...From a very pregnant and nauseaous,

Julie ;)

Congratulations!!! I myself have looked for a saltine cracker replacment...I haven't found anything quite like it.....but maybe the baby would like nutthins? I know I know not the namebrand :P they are definatly a different texture, but at least I think they are similar in flavor! Hope this help and again congratulations!!

First of all, congratulations!!!

I had horrible nausea with both my pregnancies. Even though I was eating gluten then, the saltine cracker thing did nothing for me. In fact, nothing much really helped, I'm sorry to say. Totally not food related, but I did find that the Sea-Bands wrist bands (they work on accupressure) helped take the edge off. I hope it doesn't last too long, I soooooo feel your pain!

The Ener-g company makes a soda cracker that is closest to Saltines that I have found. Some stores carry them but we usually get them on line. Congrats on the baby.

Thank you both for the kind thoughts! :)

I go tomorrow for another UltraSound...I'm making a photoalbum of all my U/S pictures. :P Watching my little "beany baby" grow (it looks like a polebean at the moment).

The baby is due in early May. I am going into week 8....hopefully only about five weeks of nausea remaining. I've heard it often ends at the end of the first trimester.

Keeping everyone in my thoughts. :wub:

I'm pregnant too - going into my 7th week and also very queasy. What helps me is candied ginger, dry gluten-free Brown Rice toast, and club soda. Sounds delicious :( but it helps. Good luck!

Congratulations Amy! B)

Is this your first baby?

I'm glad something is helping with your nausea...so far, I'm still struggling. :rolleyes:

Take Care! :)

Hi Jules,

Sorry to hear about your nausea. I'm in my 13th week and found that nothing I ate would help mine either. :( Happily, it's starting to get better just because of the time that has passed. There is light at the end of the tunnel!!! :lol:

Hi Amy,

Can you eat corn? Maybe what your craving is salt. Try salted pop corn. Yes..the nut thins are amazing, expecially with some warm melted brie spread on top. :P

Hmmmmm!!!

Congrats, it's very exciting news :D

Thanks everyone for the advice and congrats! :)

Later this month, my first trimester will be over! I'm so excited. I must confess that the nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and constipation are killing me :rolleyes:

But my little baby is doing good! He/She is big for gestational age...at just nine weeks he/she was already an inch long! :D It doesn't surprise me though...my mom says I weighed nearly 10 pounds at birth. I would love to give birth to a chunky little baby (but hopefully not 10 pounds!) :o Maybe about 8 or so...of course, I won't be too choosy, so long as the baby is healthy! :lol: -Julie

Congratulations! All you pregnant women give me hope to be able to carry another pregnancy someday. Ive had 2 miscarriages in the past year, probably due to celiac disease and not being gluten free. I have 12 and 8 year old daughters, and had them with no problems before I new about the celiac. I have been gluten-free for 3 months now. Hoping next year we can try one more time with positive results. So happy for you! Good luck with the morning sickness, sounds like that part is almost over.

Sesame Pretzel Rings from Ener-G. I am also pregnant and this has helped me a lot and I love them!

I had the regular Ener-G pretzels last night and they helped settle my stomach. B) Congrats on your pregnancy as well! :)

The nausea is slowly getting better (instead of constant nausea, it comes in waves) :rolleyes:

But the really good news is there is much less night-time nausea, so I am sleeping better! :)

I went to the OB this morning for an ultrasound...she could hear the baby moving! :P

I've got a kicker! :D Heartbeat is strong too. I really have a gut feeling that the baby is a boy. :blink: Just a hunch. I'll have to wait about six more weeks to find out for sure. ;)

Lots of love,

Julie B)

McDonald's french fries are pretty darn good, though a tad risky. Not sure why, but salt seems to help. I am craving tons of stuff I can't have, like cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster. I never had a problem with the gluten-free diet before, but now that I'm pregnant everything I am craving is not-gluten-free!!!

You are right about the salt...would you believe that last night I ate three bags of Fritos corn chips? Not the big bags, but still...I just got a salt craving and ate a week's worth of chips in one sitting! :rolleyes:

I can truly relate to your non-gluten-free cravings! :P This baby of mine wants everything gluten and NAME BRAND...no substitutions! :lol: Geez.

Like you, I can usually stick to my gluten-free diet farely easily...once you get used to it, it's not that hard. But it's a whole different story being pregnant! Apparently, nobody told my baby it was in a gluten-free uterus! ;)

Good luck to you! -Julie B)

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Is Toblerone Gluten-Free?

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
