    Does anyone know if the stuff you have to drink for the 25 week diabetes test during pregnancy is gluten free?

    Co-workers can be the worst. One of my coworkers brought in these amazing looking homemade cinnamon rolls with frosting. I'm telling you, they smelled like heaven. I put up with walking past them for a day and then the next day when he offered me one, I told him thanks, but that I couldn't. (One of my other coworkers chimed in that she "couldn't" have...

    Thanks everyone! I did call the OB and the nurse told me to stop the Zofran and start Unisom and B6. I think I'm just so upset about it all because I was so relieved/excited to think there was something to help (the Zofran) and then come to find out.. it doesn't help! This is my first child, so all of this is new to me. I think another thing that...

    I've been pretty much sick 24/7 since getting pregnant. Normally, I don't feel too terrible until around 2:30 pm, and then just go downhill from there. I have almost constant nausea. I have something going on in my throat/chest (heartburn?) where it feels like I have to burp but can't. Like a lump in my throat. It's almost like anxiety... I don't know...

    I'm almost 31 and pregnant with my first child. My doctor wants me to take additional Vitamin D, but I was deficient in Vitamin D prior to getting pregnant. Talk to your doctor... he or she will be able to guide you down the right path.

    My husband and I tried for about a year without success and then a couple of weeks after I found out I had Celiac and switched my diet... I got pregnant. It may just be coincidence... I'm not sure. BUT I would advise one thing: get a handle on your new diet before getting pregnant. I'm 8 weeks pregnant and feeling quite depressed/upset about all the...

    The only restaurant in my town that has anything gluten free on their menu is Culvers. Whenever friends want to go out to eat, that's where we go, and I have the same thing: chicken cashew salad. Sometimes I have the frozen custard for dessert. I was just diagnosed with celiac the beginning of last month, so I'm still adjusting to things like giving...

    Wow, thanks for all the helpful advice! I had my first appointment today with the nurse practitioner. Guess what? She eats wheat free! She had some good advice on food (including bread that isn't yucky!). It was really exciting that she not only knew what celiac disease was, but choses to eat wheat free and therefore knows somewhat of the limitations...

    So, hubby and I had been casually trying (whatever happens, happens) for a year or so to have a baby, and I didn't really think much about it after I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and started a gluten-free diet. Well... turns out I got pregnant almost immediately after going gluten free! I'm having some issues now because I have weird heartburn...

    I have bipolar disorder, so obviously there's some preexisting issues with me. However, my bipolar symptoms got progressively worse along with my other gluten induced symptoms. Same goes for my ADHD symptoms. I found myself horribly unable to concentrate or remember the smallest details.. and I used to pride myself on my strong work ethic and attention...

    I think I've narrowed down the "trigger" to my celiac disease to a couple of related events. My symptoms really started coming on strong following a pretty difficult breakup with my boyfriend of 7 years. BUT, also following that breakup (pre Celiac symptoms), I relapsed in my anorexia (I'd had a few minor bouts with it earlier, but nothing so severe...

    ARCHIVED Grief

    nikelodeon79 replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I was only very recently diagnosed, so I think I'm still in the "honeymoon stage." I haven't experienced too many moments where I've been overly angry/upset... but I'm sure they will come. I definitely have times when I realize I can't have [fill in the blank] that I used to adore... I'm sure the grief stage will come... but I'm very glad to have...

    My reactions are sometimes a bit delayed... usually the next day if I've slipped up and eaten gluten. Aside from that... your stomach could be protesting the lack of "real" food within the past 24 hours. You said you had the following: campbells soup-tomatoe cream (has gluten) gluten free potato chips corn chips and salsa, (chips possibly...

    My grandma has never been tested for Celiac Disease but she has similar symptoms as I did pre-diagnosis. She has had colon cancer in the past... not sure if it's related at all, though.

    Thanks for all the ideas (and the support!). My in-laws are being super cool... which is really nice because things have not always been peach keen between us. Maybe this diagnosis will bring us together. I'm just having to rein them in a bit because they're so gung ho about helping... I haven't caught up with them yet! I'm trying to start small and ease...

    Thanks. :-) The doctor who diagnosed me with Celiac is wonderful... he commented on the amount of medication I'm on and said I may want to think about decreasing it. I've bounced around from person to person as far as my psychiatric meds... the clinic I go to for counsling never can seem to keep anyone long. I'm on: Trileptal: 600mg Seroquel: ...

    I was reading in Elisabeth Hasselbeck's book that it is thought that Celiac Disease can make the symptoms of bipolar disorder and ADHD worse. Well, I have both psychological conditions and had definitely felt an increase in symptoms over the past several months, coinciding with the increase in digestive issues that ultimately led to my diagnosis. So,...

    Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right section! I didn't see a section for introductions or anything. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Basically, the doctor (to whom I am grateful to for actually recognizing my long list of symptoms were all related to this one thing, and for ordering the tests in the first place) told me on the phone that...
