    Yes, regular Tylenol is safe to take while pregnant (in fact its the only one recommended by most doctors). If you have a cold, Tylenol Cold is fine too. Hope you feel better!

    Fiddle Faddle, Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all the benefits of breastfeeding. I really appreciate all of your advice, which was quite helpful. Im going to really try to breastfeed, and if I cant, then I cant. At least I tired, right? Also thank you to everyone else who answered my questions. Its so nice to know there are such kind Celiacs...

    Thank you for your helpful suggestions..... I should mention that I had breast augmentation and may not be able to breastfeed because of this. I guess I'll know more once I give birth and try to breastfeed. Someone mentioned not to introduce gluten to my child until "the normal time"...Im not sure I know what normal time means???? So from what Im reading...

    I know I might not get many repsonses from this, but I thought Id try, you never know... I live in Queens, NY and looking for a really good pediatrician, one who is patient, caring and takes the time to listen. Also, one who has experience with children with food allergies or a GI background. Im anticipating having difficulty with my baby once hes born regarding...

    Thank you to everyone who has answered my questions in the past 9 months, regarding pregnancy and celiac disease. My latest concern is what to fee the baby once he's here..... which formula is gluten-free? How will I know if my baby has celiac disease and reacting to formula or doesnt have celiac disease and just doesnt take to the formula for other reasons...

    Hello, A few moths ago I posted a question regarding when and how to test your newborn baby for Celiac....I didnt get a lot of responses though. Im hoping that more people will read this post and have some advice/suggestions.... Does anyone have experience testing their baby for Celiac? Im 8 months pregnant and wont be breastfeeding, so Im wondering what...

    I did the 3 hour glucose fast test last week and my numbers came back fine. Luckily, I do not have GD. Yes, my doc warned about putting on too much weight as it could lead to a difficult delivery. He aslo suggested I go to the gym and exercise more. Im just to exhausted by the time I get home after a day of teaching all day. I'm stuck in a food "rut" and...

    I have known about my celiac disease for 10 years now. Ive always been on the thin side. Ive never gained a lot of weight. Now, naturally, at 6 months pregnant, Ive gained weight. Ive put on 35 pounds already. Im just hungry all the time! I must admit I do eat sugar, such as rice pudding and chocolate, such as Reeses PNB Cups. I have a gluten-free bagel every...

    I've forgotten to check the responses to my question from August. Thank you for your replies. I'm still wondering if anyone else can add to this, based on their own experience? Now, Im 6 months pregnant and still unsure about when and even if to test my baby. I will not be breastfeeding. Does anyone know which formula is good? Or without gluten? Im not sure...

    I'm 4 months pregnant and have been gluten-free 10 yrs. Does anyone know when and how do you test your baby for celiac disease? While I do have an excellent OBGYN, I'm assuming she wouldnt know much about this. Please share any knowledge/experience.........Thanks!!

    Thank you so much for offering these gluten-free restaurants in Vancouver. Unfortunately, I checked this email after I had already gotten back. I did okay in Vancouver, however, I didnt know about the ones you mentioned. I also went to Victoria Island and found a great cafe which prepared my meal gluten-free (the waitress herself had celiac disease so she...

    Thanks for the info! I loved the website and added it to my favorites. Its always great to share info and help other Celiacs! What's Gus' restaurant like? Ive never been there....

    Thank you for your replies! I've been pregnant for 16 weeks now! I take a daily prenatal from frieda vitamins. Does anyone take a prenatal from Frieda vitamins? All their vitamins are gluten-free. I think the one Im using is good (no naseau) however, there are no omegas/fish oils, which I think I should be taking as well, due to lots of gas/bloat/constip...

    Hello! Does anyone know of any gluten-free/celiac disease friendly restaurants in Vancouver, BC OR Victoria Island? I'll be going there on vacation this week and would love to know if there are any "safe" places to enjoy gluten-free food? Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks! Erica

    Hello fellow Celiacs, If you live in NY and haven't tried Bistango on 3rd and 29th, you dont know what you're missing! I had the good fortune of finding this Italian restaurant that makes anything on the menu, gluten-free!! I haven't tasted such delicious Italian food like this since I had to go gluten-free 10 years ago. I finally found this place after...

    I'm trying to get pregnant and my OBGYN prescribed Citracal 90 + DHA. Does anyone take this prenatal? If so, is it gluten-free? Can anyone recommend a really good gluten-free prenatal vitamin? Especially one that doesnt cause upset stomach and/or naseau????? I'd like to get a doctor prescribed vitamin....I hear theyre better than store brand. Thanks...

    Does anyone know what's okay to order from a bar? Last week, I went out with friends and had a few apple martinis. A few days later I suffered a horrible, excruciating Celiac attack (severe naseau, diarrea), so bad I thought Id need an ambulance. Ive also been eating out lately cuz it was my birthday. I was very safe in ordering (bland food). The waitresses...

    Obviously, theres no such thing as living in a "gluten free bubble", however, that wouldnt be such a bad thing, LOL. And I do not think the companies are "out to get us"---thats silly. My point is that why label something as gluten-free if it really isnt 100% gluten-free? Its also difficult to really know and trust certain companies even if they reassure...

    I'm not sure I understand why some food companies label their foods "gluten free" yet also have a warning that says their products are made in a facility that makes products with wheat???????????? Isn't this like an oxymoron???? How can something be truly gluten free when the company is also telling you that that gluten-free food may be contaminated with...

    hello! Ive been gluten-free for 8 yrs now. Recently I decided to become a vegetarian. Ive been eating mostly brown rice, potato, veggies, PNB, nuts. Does anyone know of brand name foods that are good, "tasty" and healthy, gluten-free???? Or, additional sources of protein besides soy???? Thanks!

    Hello Celiacs, I am trying so hard to find out if anyone has used the vitamin supplements from Dr. Murad??? Dr. Murad is a skin care specialist who makes great skin/body products. He also came out with a regimen of supplements to take to help fight cellulite, which I have, even though Im on the thinner side. Ive tried everything to get rid of it!!!!!!!!...
