Hi all!! My names Sammii im 17yrs old..this is obviously my first..funny thing is i wasnt able to have kids...i was on birth control and we used other protection so getting pregnant sure was ment to be.lol anyways im due Feb 27th. celiac has affected my pregnancy so much..i was only gluten-free for one week before finding out i was pregnant so im still tired...moody..everything..i cant seem to keep weight on..i weighed a healthy 145 now im down to 125 in 3weeks... so anyways nice to meet everyone!!!!

I have been having bad cramping kinda pain for almost a month now. At my cycle time I spotted very light for 3-4 days but, no breakthrough bleeding. I took a preg test before my cycle and it came up neg but the crampy pains just continue. Can someone help me out on this on? What could it be? My husband and I are not careful I have had 7 miscarriges before so I'm a little freaked out.

oh my i have no idea...7miscarriages is alot...have u had a dnc??? u may wanna go to the doctor as soon as possible..maybe your pregnant but not enough hormone to detect yet..i say go to the doctor asap...goodluck i hope your okay

I have heard that if you get glutened while you are pregnant you can have a miscarriage. I was wondering how true this was. Should I be afraid to eat out anywhere in case I accidentally get glutened? Should I never go to a dinner party or eat other peoples' food? I have been very worried about this. Please let me know.

i heard the same thing...im 7weeks pregnant and i went gluten free one week before getting pregnant...my neighbor is also a celiac and she told me today that she ate gluten with all three of her pregnancies and all that happened was they inherited celiac...so im not too sure but i would like to know as well...

hey all i went to a specialist in celiac and he gave me a prescription 4 levbid..altho he was in a hurry he didnt get a chance to explain anyone else taking levbid??

Cool Whip is gluten-free. It does, however, contain casein. Could you be sensitive to that?

perhaps i havent checked though...thanks everyone for the reply. i have my 1st doc appt..on the 28th so ill ask

Hey guys,

Ive been havin sensitivity between my belly button and my "happy space" around my intestines...anyone else have this or know what it could be from? ive been having trouble sleeping on my stomach and its been affecting me for about 2weeks now. it doesnt hurt bad its just sensitive...any ideas?

okay so ive been doin great on the gluten-free diet and then last night i called kraft and the lady gave me some wierd talk and by the end im sure she said cool whip is gluten-free but when i ate it with strawberries i bloated, im dizzy, and i wanna cry very bad!!! anyone else have problems with cool whip?? is it gluten-free??

perhaps i should see if i am anemic or hypoglycemic because im very dizzy/faintish(haha i think thats a word@ Laura) and my energy is very very low. most days i have 2 take a nap before i feel better. stick thru it tho Celia......i definitely know what ur goin thru...we jus gotta stay strong

thank you alll very very much! and i am responsible for alot of the cooking/shopping altho i am only 16 and my mom basically says what im 2 prepare that night and alot of the times ill suggest certain things but then everyone else overrules me and then gets offended when i dont have what theyre having. im trying very hard and my boyfriend that im currently dating is very very supportive. and even when i have a sudden craving for sumthin i should not eat he makes sure i dont eat it. certainly this site....all the great pplz on it.. and my bf is what is helpin me thru. thanx all one again. ive tried explaining it to my family several times...they just dont get it. thank you tho... feels great that im not alone!

haha im very glad im not the only one having these wierd cravings... and thank you for telling me if they're gluten-free or not anyways how do u guys keep from "over-eating?" perhaps iim just not used 2 being hungry all the time... although even tho im eating more im loosing alot of weight.

Hey all.... ive had celiac for about a year now and my family does absolutely nothing to support me. i really need support its hard doing this alone. almost everynight we have sumthing with gluten in it for dinner. ive tried the gluten-free diet a few times and its been successful for a few weeks but its like my family expects me 2 fail each and everytime. and I do. anyone else feel alone in this..? im scared and im not sure how 2 handle bein a celiac even after a year.

I was watching tv earlier and i seen rice krispies and now i have a sudden craving for them but ive always hated them and same with gushers.... does anyone know if these 2 are gluten-free..? also does anyone else get wierd cravings..?

wow freaky i thought i was goin crazy because whenever anyone touches me in the bellybutton area i get a pinching pain as well....i never would of guess it was due 2 celiac disease but glad 2 know im not alone on this

k sorry pam...i sowwry...anyways im not sure what the delphi list is..?

everyone above this post has recieved it... anyone else

sorry all- honestly my mind is all jumbled up and i dont quite remember who i sent it to so if u havent recieved please pm me or put ur email down here

I didnt get my symptoms till about a year ago and it was when both my grandmas passed away and my best friend killed himself and my boyfriend of 3years broke up with me all within two weeks. i was a trainwreck and basically after that i didnt eat much and then when i started to i would get very sick and i told my mom and she thought i was like insane or something and so i went to the doctor and they did blood work for various things and nothing seemed to be the problem and i was on the net one day looking for myself and i came across celiac diease and i told my doctor and i got checked and sure enough i had it... that was about a year ago so its been difficult..... everyone else in my family has been checked and no one seems to have it... alot of my cousins and aunt and uncles have gotten checked as well and so far im the only one so its confusing i guess.lol

ive never had the symptom^^^ but i do think that celiac diease really does interview or basically make our period worse....one day ill find out tho. Im going to college and then to medical school and im goin 2 study celiac diease and try to find a cure(doubt it.haha) or figure more out to help myself and other celiacs.... and anerissara thanks so much for the list of doctors- its greatly appreciated. and sorry guys Ill start sending out the emails right now

hey all- i sent u the list altho there was a few of you who didnt leave an email so if u could please and ill send it....but i got this list from a dietician so i hope everything works 4 the best

ok of course ill send it to ya- (altho its about 130pages when u print it.lol)

thanx and i just moved 2 utah so i dont have a doctor yet.......but i will find one...once again thanx ladies- helps alot

I'm 21, but I got Celiac when I was 18 and since then(even since being on the diet) my menstrual cycle is shot. It comes any day it wants (sometimes a couple months since the last, sometimes a week after the last). It was last 2 to 13 days. Sometimes I have such pain I cant even move, sometimes no pain.

Probably doesnt help you much, but thats my side of the story.

I am however 16years old.. Does this happen to alot of you or is it perhaps my age and puberty as well???
