Oh, I just ate some Fritos too! They were soooo good. I honestly used to eat so healthy. I'm rationalizing that I'm taking my multi-vitamin and will get back on the healthy track after this all-day sickness goes away!

I found this about the salt craving:

Some nutritional explanations may factor in for some of Mom's cravings. A desire for salty foods -- such as pickles -- may indicate a need for more sodium as blood volume and body tissues are increasing.

Thanks for sharing the salt info.! :) I have been soooo sick these last couple of days (and nights). This sickness has to end soon! I seem to feel the best when I don't eat (less nausea/diarreah/constipation), but the only problem is the baby needs FOOD (and so do I). :blink: I've lost two more pounds (I'm down to 119 at 5'8"). :unsure:

Please ignore me, I'm very hormonal today...I could just cry. :( I really want to ENJOY being pregnant.

I already love my little unborn baby, but I can't seem to shake this "morning sickness"....which is more than a "morning" problem.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll be less hormonal tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent! :rolleyes: -Julie

A plain coke always helped me with nausea. Also, glutano makes really good pretzels! I am sure their saltines are good also, but I haven't had them yet.

Thank you for the info.! :) The OB gave me some nausea meds. (Zofran I think)...I've started taking it. It does help some. I take it and Pepcid AC and at least I can eat. It may not digest that easily, but I am getting food down! B) I had the most wonderful ultrasound the other day! For the first time, I could clearly see the baby...arms, fingers, and all! :P Gosh, it almost made me cry! My hubby was with me, and he got all emotional and excited. Despite feeling like total crap, being pregnant truly is a wonderful experience! :D -Julie

P.S. You're right, Coke is helping (and Ginger Ale) when my stomach turns. ;)

I am on the verge of asking for something myself. i've gotten sick every day this week. Only another month until I'm out of the first trimester... seems like an eternity!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

((((HUGS)))) honey. I totally understand. :wub:

I went to the ER the other night because I was so sick! :blink: I absolutely hate the hospital, but I couldn't eat or digest or go to the bathroom (mild bowel impaction). So I had no choice.

A month does feel like a long time when you're pregnant. Ask your doctor about Zofran and Pepcid AC. One warning though, the Zofran can make you VERY constipated...epecially if you are prone to it anyway. <_< Are you vomiting daily? If so, make sure to watch your fluids so you don't get dehydrated, ok? :unsure: Dehydration can sometimes sneak up on you. :ph34r:

Hang in there! Talk to your OB about anything of concern to you. Don't wait (like I did) :rolleyes: until you're in the ER in some very embarrassing positions! :blink:

Many hugs,

Julie :)

I am about 8 weeks pregnant and nothing I do will even phase my queasiness. I feel sick when I'm hungry or if I just ate what sounded really good to me (gluten free of course)! I think celiac disease is hardest on pregnant women with it, since we inevitably crave all these different foods we absolutely cannot have. Especially since it's not just about us anymore, it's about our babies too! I have a pretty good pizza crust recipe I tried out last night and it was the best gluten free pizza I've had since I was diagnosed a few years ago. So if any of you would like it, just email me at hafadai43@yahoo.com!

Hang in there Rachel! The first trimester does seem unending if you are suffering with severe nausea :(

I hope you begin feeling better soon. Congratulations on your pregnancy! :DB)

I have FINALLY started to feel better in the last few weeks. I'm seventeen weeks now....I started feeling better about week 14.

Good luck to you!

P.S. I agree that it is harder staying gluten-free while pregnant....normally being gluten-free isn't that difficult, but the baby (actually the hormones) causes STRONG cravings that are hard to ignore sometimes. :rolleyes: -Julie

I found that once I started taking my vitamins and as much folic acid as they would let me the nausea went away.. Also making sure I ate three full meals a day helped a lot..

Thanks Lorraine for the info! My nausea got much better after week 14...Thank goodness!

My pregnancy update: I am 25 weeks pregnant. He (Eli) weighs almost 1 and 3/4 pounds! :D He is very active and all of my ultrasounds show a healthy baby! (despite all my meds. and my epilepsy, lupus, celiac, and sjogrens). What a blessing! Eli is kicking like crazy! But I love it ;)

Hope all is well with everyone. -Julie

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
