I had two healthy pregnancies. Then, after my second pregnancy, I had two miscarraiges and a son that died of anencephaly. I think that my celiac started up after my second pregnancy. I am currently pregnant and have been gluten free for a year. I did have two instances when I was eating gluten for a couple of weeks. I hope that did not hurt anything. I...

I just found out I am pregnant. I am excited but I am SO frustrated that I have been eating wheat for a couple of weeks...since my doctor told me I did not have celiac. Today my hair started falling out. I hope this is not a sign that I have damage or that I am not processing vitamins. I am going to see if I can get a serum test today and stop eating...

Does anyone know of any cereals I can eat that have as much of the vitamins that cereals with gluten have? Thanks, Jennifer

I have been eating gluten for about 3 weeks now. I feel really sick. I started eating gluten after my doctor told me I did not have celiac disease. I think he is wrong and I want to get a serum test and get off of gluten asap. I just found out I was pregnant last night...so I am worried. Jennifer

Wether I have been on or off gluten I have had floating stool. When I do not eat gluten I am more regular. I have heard that floating stool is a sign of malabsorption. However, my floating stool never seened to get better. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience. Or, it anyone knew what more about what floating stool meant. Thanks, Jennifer

Thank you. I can't believe all of the support I have here. It is good to know that others have the "hot flashes" as a symptom. That strengthens my decision to stop the gluten. Also, my dh and I have been trying to conceive so I did not know if all of this was due to pregnancy or going back on wheat the past week. I will not know if I am pregnant for...

Sorry to be so confusing. This is what happend: I had IBS, Barrett's syndrome, and gastroparesis 2003-2004 Problems with losing hair and gaining wieght, and being tired. So, my stomach doctor took a blood test and told me I had the genetic marker for Celiac 12/05. I went gluten free immediately. I had an endoscopy done for my Barrett's syndrome. At...

Yes I was gluten free for several months before the testing. Also, at the endoscopy my Doctor was suprised to find my stomach empty. I usually have a slow stomach (gastroparesis). I guess the answer to my question is pretty obvious. I just don't know if I am having a reaction to eating gluten because it has been a while since I have eaten gluten. I...

"hot flashes" and I am only 33. What do you think? I am so confused. I was diagnosed last year with the gentic marker. But after a endoscope and biopsy my stomach doctor said I have NO signs of celiac disease or ever having it. He was adament, even when I kept telling him I thought I did. He is an excellent Dr.. He really knows his stuff. I know I...

Jerseyangel...wow..that sounds familiar. Please keep me posted on what your results turn out to be. I will beinterested to see. You have some of the same symptoms. I thought they were Celiac related but the other Celiac symptoms went away or slowly got better with the diet...these do not. Right now I am fighting a cramp in my calf and one in my foot. I hope...

New here. Last year I was losing my hair and gaining wieght I did not know I had Celiac. My thyroid was tested and it was borderline "HYPO" a couple of weeks later it was retested and it was "NORMALl" so they did not want to treat it. Then, this past winter I discovered I was Celiac. I was so excited because my symptoms left me and my hair stopped falling...

I have read other peoples posts about a blood test for celiac. I took one bood test that the doctor explained showed that I was a "carrier" for Celiac. It showed up on a genetic test. Is this the test other people are talking about. I then started the diet and it has helped except for recently. I got glutenized 2 weeks ago and I still feel really bad with...

Thank you. I will give it some time and see if it clears up. When we were trying to diagnose my hair loss and inability to loose wieght I got my thyroid test. One test came back slightly hypo and then the next test was fine...so they told me that my thyroid was probably fine adn the lab maybe made a mistake. Thank you for your help, Jennifer

Before I was diagnosed in Dec. I was gaining wieght even when I would eat very little. I would have to exercise on the eliptical an hour a day and weightlift and eat very little just to stay the same wieght. I notice now that I am gluten-free that I am not as hungry and do not eat as much. I think my body does not think it is starving anymore and my metabolism...

How can I reach Rob in sports and fitness? Oh..I found the forum...thanks, Jennifer
