  1. I had hyperemesis with both my children. The second pregnancy was severe HG requiring hospitalization, and spending the remainder of my pregnancy on home health care with an IV and zofran pump. Both were prior to my diagnosis which was just last week. I was diagnosed similarly to you, I went in for a very minor complaint having no idea that celiac was even...
  2. I just learned I have celiac last week and a friend gave me Carol Fenster's "1000 Gluten-Free Recipes" book. The book looks great, as it has recipes for just about everything.

My daughter's 3rd birthday is in a few weeks and I need a good gluten free cake recipe I can use in a Wilton shaped cake pan. Hopefully...
  7. I was tentatively diagnosed with hypoglycemia by my PCP but he wanted me to see a gastro just in case there was something else causing my symptoms. The gastro thought the diagnosis of hypoglycemia was likely right but ran a few blood tests. The celiac antibody test came back positive. I am having an EGD tomorrow. I really don't want to have Celiac. I know...
