I left out Iron…check your iron levels as well. -
Welcome to the forum! We've done many articles on pregnancy and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=pregnancy&quick=1&type=cms_records2&search_in=titles and we've had people post here that their pregnancy actually triggered their celiac disease. Before going gluten-free it would be ideal if you could get a celiac...

PS - I believe that in the USA "Spices" cannot contain gluten, and all wheat must be declared on the allergen statement. -

The average time is 2 years, and it could probably be faster if people knew about things like hidden gluten in food additives, cosmetics, etc., and if they took dietary supplementation seriously and tested for vitamin & mineral deficiencies. In my case I think it was a combination of not supplementing right away, and working at a desk too much,... -

I've had some bad years! Although my recovery seemed to be dramatic, that was just in comparison to how sick I had been before going gluten-free. There was an ~10-15 year period in my life afterwards where I have chronic stiff necks, major knots in my shoulders and neck, and around once per month I would wake up with such a bad stiff neck I could not turn... -
You are not alone, and there are many celiacs who report some of the things you're going through. Here is a summary of a recent study on dating and celiac disease. I think getting your diet under control, and getting healthy is every celiac's first priority, but learning how to deal with various social relationships while maintain a gluten-free diet isn't...

I highly doubt strawberries would contain any measurable gluten, even IF they used straw under them (if heard of home gardeners doing this, but have never seen it done here in California in commercial strawberry fields...and even IF they did it, straw does not contain gluten). Strawberries are a very common fruit allergy which can be quite severe in some...

I would check into a possible corn intolerance, as Barilla is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Hello @gf_kitchen, and welcome to the forum. Is it possible you have a corn intolerance or corn allergy? I ask because Barilla is probably the largest gluten-free pasta manufacturer in the world, and their product is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, so it's very doubtful that it would contain any gluten.

Was your reaction different than you have with gluten? Nut allergies are very common, as you probably know, but an allergic reaction is very different than the reaction that a person with celiac disease has with gluten, which is an autoimmune reaction. If the reaction was more like a gluten reaction, I wonder if it's possible that you got some gluten in your... -

Severe acute abdominal pain
Scott Adams replied to Caterina0909's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The pain I had was primarily in the middle-right area of my abdomen. How long have you been gluten-free, and is any gluten getting into your diet? Have you tried eliminating other things like cow's milk? -
Gut Microbiome as It Relates to Space Travel

Interesting article, and I've seen other studies on too clean environments. The takeaway from this one is "Ultra-sterile living conditions may contribute to common astronaut illnesses, including gut, skin, and immune-system problems." Let your kids play in the dirt!
