    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...

    Ya I figured I would probably try to not go out much at all but I'm sure when I get pregnant it will be real hard anyway this time. Last time I was either always craving Taco Bell or Weinerschnitzel or my favorite Mexican Restaurant. The only time I ever really craved anything at home was bacon, I would spend most of my weekend slowly munching on bacon. When...

    Ugh! I know what you mean about missing your little girl. When I was in the hospital in Feb & March they had the Swine Flu ban on the hospitals so my son couldn't come see me. When I was in with pneumonia my room was on a high enough floor that my in-laws drove up to the top of the parking garage & took him out & I could see him from the window...

    Ok thanks. I just wasn't sure. Like I said I was planning to be extra careful but I have still been eating out some. Only been to 4 places so far though, 3 have gluten free menus & I know that at one of them the staff was extensively trained & they have a dedicated kitchen area etc. The other is In & Out I have always liked In & Out but didn...

    It's no good to be stuck in the hospital so long, especially during the holidays like this. I've spent more time in the hospital in the last year & a half than I thought I would wrack up during most of my lifetime lol. I always HATED being in the hospital. The 1 night I spent while I was pregnant I was soo uncomfortable that I got 1hr of sleep. Couldn...

    Quick background-tested negative on blood panel but doctor recommended I start gluten free diet right after blood test. I did with very positive results. Since I started on the "Celiac trail" trying to find out as much information as possible my family & I believe that I truly do have Celiac disease even though I have no official diagnosis. After 3yrs...

    I do not have an official diagnosis but believe that I have celiac disease (negative blood test but started gluten-free diet on doctor recommendation, very positive results, don't want to go back to gluten for biopsy). I seem to have mainly had neurological symptoms starting around Junior High. After 3yrs of trying I got pregnant I finally did & actually...

    Can't really comment on the mucus issue. However, your GI symptoms sound just like mine were. I've been on the diet 18 days now & my D & most of the other GI problems went away. I got my test results last Friday night, it was negative. With such a high false negative rate I said I wasn't going to let that stop me if I was feeling better but I started...

    I know they say every person is different but I am going on 18 days gluten free & this whole week I have been feeling more & more energetic. I am not sure when the last time was that I felt this way. I feel soo great. I also have been taking 50,000-100,000 units of Vit D a week since around April or May when my vit D came in at 30. As of Nov 1st,...

    I'm new to this whole thing myself so don't have a lot of good answers for you. From what I can tell a lot of the things that you mention seem like they could be caused by celiac. Even your issue with dairy could be because of Celiac. I just received a negative blood test last week. On the doctor's recommendation I started gluten free the day after the blood...

    I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I'm starting week 3 of going gluten free. I started it on the doctor's recommendation the day after getting my blood test. My results came back last week as negative. The same night before I got the results out of the mailbox we ate gluten free hotdogs. I just ate the hotdog with no bun & was obsessing so much over...
