    Why would he need the web site to order it? Don't his elves make everything?

    My husband has a tentative job offer in Korea. How difficult is it to be gluten free there? Any restaurants/stores anyone can recommend? We would be in the Gunsan/Kunsan AB area. Thank you for your help!

    Not fast acting, but when I was pregnant my OB had me on prunes/prune juice to help with my severe constipation naturally. I think the prune juice is probably a bit faster acting, but the prunes have a great amount of dietary fiber. GL!

    Hi! I'm sure many of you are new enough to not remember me. I've lurked a bit, but haven't really posted much for quite a while now. I've been busy visiting the boards at Babycenter.com! I'm now 36 weeks pregnant and give all the credit to going gluten free (and, thereby, to you all here as well for all of the help and support you gave me in doing so). If...

    Thanks! We couldn't find that information on their site. I'll definately be getting some today!

    Does anyone know if the Burger King Sweet Potato Fries are gluten free? I'm 31 weeks pregnant now (YEAH!!!) and was *really* wanting fries today. There is a new BK right across the street from us so we stopped in while we were out doing a few things. The BK on base is GREAT, has a dedicated frier, really watches CC for me when I explain my needs, etc. I went...

    Not necessarily. I'm 28 weeks now and would still be vomiting every day without my Zofran prescription. I've been quite sick throughout. I kept holding on to hope that my second trimester would come along and that I would feel better. No such luck! My doctor even told me at 20 weeks to plan to be sick the whole pregnancy. And add to that the headaches, fatigue...

    AFIK, it's not even recommended with Crohn's. My sister has Crohn's and has had two natural deliveries with no complications and a section was not ever recommended to her because of it.

    I understand completely and I think everyone goes through this to some degree or another in the beginning. It isn't easy at all, but I do agree that it's easier than what some have to deal with. My sister had Crohn's and I was tested for that prior and prayed to God that wasn't what I had. I think seeing what she's gone through and knowing that I could have...

    From my experience, I will second everything Syklark just said about the rice. We usually even keep several different varieties of rice around so that we can choose which we want depending on what we are using it for (stickier rice makes AMAZING rice pudding!). Experiment with it a bit. Rice is CHEAP and if you make it in small batches in the beginning, you...

    Honestly, the symptoms of gluten intolerance/celiac disease are so wide and varied, all of the things you describe could VERY EASILY be attributed to gluten ingestion. I had some of the strangest things go away that I never in a million years would have associated with gluten until I saw in hindsight that they were gone (or at least greatly reduced) after...

    My husband already had a rice cooker when we got married. I had never used one before, but I'm not sure I could live without it anymore! Even just the other morning (bad MS), I needed something bland to eat and didn't have the energy to actually make anything. I pulled out the rice cooker and just had to dump in the rice and water. I was able to go back to...

    I'm no expert, but from what I understand, you have no need to worry during pregnancy, but you will need to watch baby for fussiness and/or other reactions during BF should you chose to eat gluten. If you do chose to be gluten free while BF, you'll have to watch as you introduce gluten to LO.

    I've had a little heartburn off and on, but today it kicked in full force. I've been taking Tums, but they don't seem to help. Any suggestions of things that I can try?

    I think the ginger cookie is one that I like a little better than most. I don't mind the apple pie all that much either. And the peanut butter cookie isn't too bad. I hadn't even thought about how the pregnancy thing might be affecting the taste of them, though I've never been a big fan of cherry anything.
  17. jswog
    I do have LARA bars, but am really not a huge fan. I absolutly HATE the Cherry Pie ones (that was all I had at work with me one day before I'd tried them and was gagging before I managed to get the whole thing down)! Unfortunately they were in this multi-pack we picked up at Cosco, so I have a ton of them. If you were close, I'd give them all to you! Some...

    Ohh... Thank you! I'll have to go check these out!

    Ohhh.... Mashed Potatoes! You said that and it sounds AMAZING! I think I just might go make some...

    I can totally relate to Ollie's Mom! While I haven't been gluten free for nearly as long as she has, I honestly haven't had too many issues with wanting gluten-laced things after the fist about 2-3 months. Now at almost 17 weeks, I had to put my food down and not allow my husband to get some pizza rolls the other night. He thought they sounded good and, unfortunately...
  21. jswog
    I agree with Ollie's Mom. I've been fighting a head cold for like three weeks now myself and haven't found anything I can take. It's been miserable!
  22. jswog
    Sounds like you're right on track! My husband does still have a few things around the house that he doesn't want to give up, but anything that's really difficult for me to watch him eat he takes to work to eat for lunches there. He'll still order a pizza now and then, but always checks with me first to see if it would be too much for me at the moment. gluten...

    You are so right about how difficult it is to get the hang of a gluten free diet in the beginning. I read and researched for almost two months before kicking the gluten out of my life. Do you have a gluten free house or does anyone still keep gluten around? It is MUCH easier to do when you maintain a completely gluten free kitchen. 35 is the 'magical' age...

    I can't really offer you anything but big cyber hugs, but I do know that there is a board on the forums at babycenter.com just for grieving mothers after miscariages. I've not been there, but I've heard it's a great community of support. I know there were several here who've also 'been there done that' who've offered you support, but if you feel like you...

    If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I had my annual in August after going off of Depo last May and discussed everything with my OB at that time. She wasn't pleased that I'd been off the shot for three months without a cycle and wanted to start meds to try to kick my period back in (wouldn't do anything for ovulation, but just start my period), but...
