I use OCal prenatals. They are a prescription, but they say Gluten Free right on the label... And I'm not one to trust things unless they say that. They don't make me sick, but I take them right before bed. I'm 21 weeks preg, so I'm passed the nausea stage. I think when you take prenatals might be a culprit too.

Thank you. To all of you. I needed the support. I am confident I am doing the right thing. I will present my information at my daughter's next exam and maybe I will teach him a thing or two!! You guys are a God-send. I am happy to have all of your support and love. This forum has been a real blessing in my life.

Honestly? Ignorance. I didn't know maple syrup is one ingredient, so I didn't know that wouldn't make us sick!! Haha. Thanks, Ursa

This morning I tried gluten-free syrup on our gluten-free pancakes. It was called Vermont Sugar Free Syrup. On the back it said Gluten Free, but listed in the ingredients was caramel coloring. I have had probs with caramel coloring, but thought that since it said gluten-free it was safe... So why did she break out in a rash everywhere it touched? Could it...

At the beginning of my pregnancy I was having severe reactions to gluten. (I am now 16 weeks and have been off gluten for 5-6 weeks). I talked to my doctor and he said GO 100% gluten-free the entire pregnancy, and then I'll be sent to a GI doc after I deliver. As I started to do my best and be gluten free my symptoms all ceased, THANK GOODNESS. I was very...

So I posted a topic a few days ago about my aweful weekend literally on the toilet and in front of the toilet. I had what was said to be gluten free at 2 seperate quick food places and after eating from Winger's (potato skins, chicken, fries, and veggies) I immediately got a severe migraine. I literally was throwing up for hours and was sick for 2.5 days...

Yes, cheating is now not even remotely appetizing to me! Thanks for your replies. I will stay clear of food that could have cc or that I don't see prepped. It def may have been food poisoning. I didn't think of that. If it wasn't though, I sure am hypersensitive now!!

So, I have been gluten free for about a month. Although, I have just recently become very STRICT about it. I check evey label and stay entirely clear of any sort of product that may even have remote traces of gluten. I ate out for two meals last week and must have been accidentally glutened. I'm serious, I thought I was going to die. I was vomiting for hours...

THANKS! I'll keep an eye on colors too.

I'm having a hard time with little things like chocolate and other candy. I ate something that was like smarties and it gave me an instant headache. Do even those little things have gluten? What about chocolates? Any safe ones? I NEED luxury, or I'm not going to make it!!! For enjoyment I thought I had candy left!!...... no such luck!

Check with your doc about tuna. I'm 12 weeks and doc told me to avoid it, maybe it's high in mercury? As for nausea, sucking on lemons has always helped me. You might want to try it... or OJ works, too. Just anything with acid seems to settle my stomach. Stay away from really fatty foods the night before the flight too. I too am flying in a couple weeks and...

"Does anyone else feel this way?" How about EVERY DAY! My symptoms are fairly severe and granted I've only been gluten free for a month, but I do challenge it in my thoughts EVERY DAY. A few days ago, I was thinking "naw, this can't be true. Screw it, I'm eating pizza!" So I did. And then I spent 4 hours in the bathroom. My husband asked if it was worth it...

Thanks, Everyone. Of course my kids are most important to me and I will do all I can to protect them both. It's hard to admit this is really happening, but I am doing my best to be gluten free. I am switching my daughter today too. She rarely eats wheat just out of personal preference, but all of her symptoms and mine combined just spells out CELIAC. She...

Okay, So I'm 25 and pregnant with my second child... Since the day I knew I was pregnant up until now (3 months along) I have dealt with a distended stomach. I thought it was due to being pregnant and was excited about possibly having twins, etc, but then the symptoms came: In the bathroom for hours after eating anything with gluten vomiting and stomach...
