ARCHIVED Pregnant And Nauseated - Help!
LindsayS replied to Ntheodo1's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Make sure you pack snacks from home every time you go somewhere. Nibbling on food definitely has helped me combat the sick feeling. Grapes have been good for me or rice crackers with peanut butter. Being pregnant and gluten-free, you (unfortunately) need to find some processed gluten-free items at the store like crackers and bread. I have been eating udi... -
ARCHIVED Suspected Dh, Is It Worth Going To Doc Or Just Wait It Out
LindsayS replied to Christine0125's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
That is exactly how my DH presents. Both legs, itchy bumps. Before I figured out it was gluten, both legs were covered with what I would refered to as hives. Now that I am gluten-free, I still have small red bumps that will appear on my thighs but they don't bother me like the previous outbreaks that extended the length on my legs. Maybe since going gluten... -
I have DH and it is controlled with a gluten-free diet. It isn't always completely gone but that is probably because I get trace amounts of gluten. But it is definitely tolerable when I am gluten-free. I am just wondering what the link to iodine is and what I need to look for if I am avoiding it. Obviously iodized salt, but what else?

Thank you Skylark- I will ask about the testing for vitamin levels. If they are ok, it will ease my mind. As far as the DH, I have had blistery, scaly, extrememly itchy bumps or almost hives on both legs for 3 years or so. It was so bad, I would scratch so hard at night and it would leave scars. I didn't even want to wear shorts or skirts in the summer. When...

I am guessing you have already done your open water event but I am a triathlete and have been gluten-free for a year and a half. I am not "diagnosed" celiac but mainly because I don't have faith in the medical community surrounding this topic and don't want to bother with it. Regardless, I train and complete gluten-free. I noticed a drastic change in my performance...

ARCHIVED Going On 19 Weeks And Struggling
LindsayS replied to Kmclean's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am 16 weeks and feel the same way. I have given in to the temptation of gluten a couple of times (chik fil-a chicken biscuit...I know, wrong on so many levels). But I was so sick the next day, I had major gluten remorse. Now I have enough fear for my baby that I am not doing that again. I didn't really realize that hurting myself was also hurting my baby... -
I am so glad I came across this website. I am 16 weeks pregnant. I have never been officially diagnosed with celiac mainly because I don't have must faith in the medical community when it comes to food allergies and because I never really thought I had "celiac" until this pregnancy. I self diagnosed with obvious DH (skin rash), lethargy, fogginess, and severe...
