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)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
