I'm kind of in the same boat. I feel sick if I let myself be hungry too long. I was sick for a bit until I started packing lots of snacks every day. But now I'm back to not feeling so great somedays. The worst part is breakfast. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Cereal just sounds disgusting & everytime I have had to eat cereal because there was...

Congrats! I'm right about where you are. We had an ultrasound last Friday based on my climbing hcg levels (doc said at 5000 they should be able to see heartbeat, I was over 4000 2 days prior to ultrasound) but it was too early to see a heartbeat. We go this Friday to hopefully see a heartbeat. It's very exciting and like Looking for Answers said I know tons...

Thanks I've been doing pretty good so far. The week before we found out & the week after I was super super tired. Last week I felt more energetic until Friday night. Then the tired started creeping back up on me. I got on here right now just because I was going to pass out staring at my monitor instead of working haha. The first few days after we found...

You're in a great position right now. You know you have Celiac Disease & you probably haven't really started to actively try to have children yet. I didn't know I had a problem really until we started trying for our second & then didn't find out what the problem was until November. It took us 2 1/2yrs to get pregnant with our first child. We did everything...

When I was doing my journal I found it easier to actually type on the computer. I can type faster than I can write so it just made sense. I would usually have to find a time when it was quiet & I was alone & just let the thoughts come. I would still get interrupted sometimes but if you do & then can't get back into it, that's fine. You're just...

Since you're husband is a student I'm not sure if you have medical insurance or how good it might be but if you do have medical insurance you might want to look at your card & see if they have a Behavioral Health Services number. If you do have the medical coverage & they cover you going to see a therapist you'll probably have to pay the "specialist...

That was very interesting about the c-sections but I'm wondering if they did any kind of study to see if there was a link between the mother's having Celiac disease? I would think that especially an undiagnosed case of Celiac in the mother would increase the chances for complications etc that might require a c-section. I had a c-section with my son because...

Thanks for the info. I have been a bit distracted the last week & a half. Ended up catching pneumonia & I'm finally back up & running around this week. I should be ovulating in the next day or two now. This cycle my doc decided to move me up to 150mg to try it. He warned me I would be more tender etc because we're really overstimulating the...

Thanks so much for responding. I really value the input. The main reasons I've worried about him having it is because it is hereditary, he's kind of underweight & his stool never seems to be normal, it's either C or D. Looking back now we realized I had symptoms since Junior High at least but mine were mostly neurological so we never figured it out...

We came to the conclusion in November that I have Celiac disease. I had a negative blood test but on doctor recommendation started the gluten free diet. I had an amazing difference. Since I had a majority of the symptoms we came to that conclusion. My son is 18 months old now and I worry about if he might have the same problem. He's always been in the...

I am somewhat self diagnosed celiac. My blood test was negative but while waiting for the results my doc told me to give gluten free a shot. Amazing difference & the 2 times I have accidentally gotten glutened I had bad reactions. It's only been about 11 weeks since I've been gluten free but I was already having some obvious female issues. We started...

Yay! Congrats Sweetpea!

Since I started gluten free I've glutened myself twice. I've obviously learned from both of those mistakes so hopefully it won't happen again. Once was the mayo jar so we bought me my own squirt mayo. The last was just over the weekend, I thought my husband's drink was mine & accidentally took a sip. I was hoping that wouldn't get me but I had a little...

I was worried what would happen if my test came back negative too. I wasn't sure if my family would support me in going gluten free or just criticize me. Thankfully my biggest critic is the one that suggested Celiac & had read about the common false negative result. My test did come back negative but I had been gluten free almost 2 weeks by then. My husband...

You sound almost just like me. I don't have osteopenia as far as I know but I have suffered many falls, broken bones & migraines or other neurological issues. Your GI issues are basically identical to mine. I also was given an IBS brush off in January. After I found out about Celiac Disease & thought I might have it I got a celiac panel ran. The doc...
