I'll let you know what the endo says. Do you know how they test for Hashimoto's or Grave's disease. Is it a blood test?

My hormone levels would indicate hyperthyroid. I believe my last TSH level was .27 but it's been as low as .07 I know weight loss is usually typical w/ it, but it's also usually typical w/ untreated celiac. I had weight gain before I knew I had celiac, so I have a history of having opposite symptoms.

I haven't had any symptoms until the last two months, which is why he has been waiting - he doesn't even know that I've been having symptoms. (I plan to call him tomorrow.) Weaning isn't a simple thing when my daughter doesn't tolerate formula - even the $50 a can hypoallergenic kind. When we give her formula she vomits and gets dehydrated. My milk supply...

I've been gluten-free for 3 years. I also have a pituitary microadenoma and bloodwork shows me to be hyperthyroid. However,I've been either pregnant or nursing since July '08, and the endo says he's going to wait to look further into the hyperthyroid until I'm done nursing my 2nd daughter. My symptoms have gotten really bad though: tired, weak, easily...

Thank you!

I got my Zofran directly from Glaxo-smith Kline, and it wasn't gluten free - at least not when I got it in late 2008 and early 2009. I've heard that it depends on where it was manufactured. Too risky for me b/c I was reacting to it. This time I took the liquid orally, or I took it through my PICC line.

Thanks for checking in! I was induced on 11-26. Sarah Grace is healthy, and I'm MUCH better!
-
Thanks! Being in the hospital is no fun. I'm looking at spending 10 days straight here, as long as it's a vaginal delivery (which it should be). I am however going to beg the doc to let me go home just for Thursday, b/c I haven't seen my daughter since last Friday. My in-laws took her to their house five hours away so that my husband would still be able...
-
Actually, I had a relapse and have been worse. I've been in the hospital since last Friday and will probably be here until I deliver. They said they'll induce this Friday though, so only a few more days! Although I would rather be at home with family on Thanksgiving than in the hospital.

It's definitely worth bringing up.
-
It is a sleeping pill, so I can see what it would make you sleepy. I only take it at night, and by this point it doesn't even make me tired anymore! I haven't noticed any digestion changes from it - although I've been on 16-24 mg of liquid Zofran a day, which makes me so constipated I wouldn't even be able to tell if something else was off.
-
I've been on the Unisom for 30 weeks, and I haven't had a problem. I take 25 mg in the evening. I have a two page treatment protocol for my Hyperemesis that was discussed w/ my OB prior to treatment. My blood sugars have been fine, which is good considering I only manage to eat about 1000 calories a day. I had some Charlie horses in my lower legs, but...
-
Oh, also - if you are dehydrated the Zofran will not work. Make sure to get IV fluids if you're dehydrated and then you can try the liquid form of Zofran.

I have Hypermesis Graviduram - which is severe and excessive nausea and vomiting in pregnancy - to the point where you lose a significant amount of weight and are unable to carry on w/ your daily life - so I know a lot about the different meds used. Most importantly, Zofran - in pill form or ODT - is NOT gluten free! I took Zofran ODT my entire first...

I was just wondering if there is a connection b/w celiac and pre-term labor. At 34 wks, my OB put me on daily meds to control the contractions (b/c I am dilating). I'll be on them for another week, and then she can just come when she comes. Not really sure why I would have pre-term labor, so I was curious if it could be related to the Celiac disease.

ARCHIVED Pregnancy To Term And Undiagnosed Celiacs
sweetpea replied to T.H.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Reading your symptoms makes me feel like I was reading my own! Not sure about the pregnancies though b/c I was diagnosed several months before I became pregnant. -
Actually, I packed on the weight before the diagnosis. I think not being able to get the nutrients from my foods b/c of the damage to my colon made me over eat, and helped to pack on the weight. I did gain 20 lbs after being diagnosed, but I think that has more to do with stopping birth control, because I gained the 20 lbs in only 2 weeks right after I...

Thanks so much guys! It is finally time for me to come clean! I've decided to join, and not just stalk. The only great finds I really have would be some awesome gluten free vitamins and supplements. I hate how OTC meds don't tell you everything that is in them, so to have a company assure me that the product is gluten free is just awesome to me...

ARCHIVED Hyperemesis Graviduram And Celiac Disease
sweetpea replied to sweetpea's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
At 34 weeks - almost 35 weeks, I'm still under my pre-pregnancy weight. I have an ultrasound again next week because I'm measuring small. Thankfully, I've had very aggressive, preemptive treatment that has made this case a lot milder than my last. I was on partial bedrest for 6 months with my first, and hospitalized I don't know how many times. This time... -
I'm in the lucky 10% of those with Celiac that get the constipation and weight gain. I was curious if others here have had the same issues, and how best to lose the weight.
-
Hi! I'm new to the boards, although not new to Celiac. I was diagnosed by biopsy and blood test in April 2008. I figured it was about time to join the forum here. I've been using recipes and info from the website since I was diagnosed.

ARCHIVED Hyperemesis Graviduram And Celiac Disease
sweetpea replied to sweetpea's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
That's very interesting, especially about the smoking. I am also on a hypermesis forum, and it's not uncommon for the women there to use medicinal marijuana. I don't use it, but many women say it's the only thing that works. I stick with Zofran, unisom, nexium (Reglan and Phenergen before developing allergic reactions. I also had a PICC line for a month... -
ARCHIVED Help! I Can't Stop Eating.
sweetpea replied to SGWhiskers's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I'm never hungry. Of course, I have hyperemesis and vomit my entire pregnancy. (I'm 34 weeks and still under my pre-pregnancy weight.) But if you need the weight gain, I'm glad you're able to eat! -
ARCHIVED Hyperemesis Graviduram And Celiac Disease
sweetpea posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was just wondering if anyone else has suffered Hyperemesis Graviduram during their pregnancies. I have now had it with both pregnancies. I have always wondered if their was a connection b/w the two, and if it might be auto-immune related. I'm sure the damage from the Celiac didn't help the lack of nutrition from the Hyperemesis though!
