    I found out through my PCP that I am also allergic to corn through regular allergy testing. It it not uncommon to have other allergies with celiac disease. You may also find that certain types of rice or corn (processed) may hurt you, whereas other types might not. At least that is what I've found. Good luck. I know it is hard having just been diagnosed...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Hello everyone! Long time, no see. It's been awhile since I've been on here. I have an important question. I feel like I have been suffering from the affects of being glutened. I have heavy brain fog...and now am having seizures (often). I think I am being glutened and wanted to start from scratch. I read some topics (even some recently...

    I would be curious as to what was actually in the apple cider. Have you tried contacting the company who makes it?

    THANK YOU everyone who posted! You have been a huge help. I think I will first try the B-12 as it seems to be the easiest fix. But the yeast post (AndreaB and darkangel) did make me think a bit. Several months ago I had contracted thrush (yeast infection) from my daughter (who initially contracted it from me I guess) while breastfeeding. I guess it is...

    Hello everyone. I have, what I consider, a huge problem. I am not sure if it is related to celiac disease or not..but I am hoping that possibly someone on this site has experienced this or can lead me in the right direction. Some background information...I am 28 yrs old, have a 9 month old daughter. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2005 and...

    Tylenol 3 worked for me. I had my baby naturally but had an episiodomy. So, pain was still def. there!! I heard that Vicodin is ok and with my experience it has been (gluten-free wise), however, it may have an effect on the baby if you decide to breastfeed. Tylenol 3 is ok w/breastfeeding.

    Congrats to you and your husband!! Very exciting stuff! MY STORY: I found out that I had Celiac Disease in Aug. of 05'. In October of 05' we started trying for a baby. By January 06, I was pregnant. So, when all is said and done, I had only been gluten-free for about 4-5 months. I was very worried like you, that I had not waited long enough for...

    Thanks everyone for your well wishes! Much appreciated. I also appreciate all your comments regarding the celiac disease testing. I just hope and pray that she doesn't have it!!! AND I will continue to breastfeed (even though it's a huge pain in the butt!!!)

    Hi all! I just wanted to announce that our baby girl arrived. Samantha was born on Oct. 27th at 8:41 p.m. She weighed in at 8 lbs 8 ozs and was 20" long. And I did it with minimal drugs (no epidural here ladies!!! can't believe I did it!!!). Since the say it helps deter celiac disease, I have been breastfeeding. At age 2 they will be testing...

    I didn't start to show until about 5-1/2 months. It wasn't until I was 8-1/2 months that people started to really notice that I was pregnant and ask me when I was due. I am now 40 weeks pregnant and ready to toss these maternity clothes!! I remember when I was a couple of months pregnant and just wanted to show off my "news." Good luck with your pregnancy...

    See, I tried those but I broke out into hives really bad. I just think I was allergic, not necessarily related to Celiac Disease. At least I don't think so.

    ARCHIVED Worried

    Melzo replied to AndiceRMT's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Call your ob/gyn - they can give you a pregnancy test to see if you are in fact, pregnant. Even at this early stage they should be able to tell. They can also address the cramping issues that you are having. I really didn't have these cramps with my pregnancy but everyone is different. PLEASE, stay on a gluten-free diet as that is one of the most important...

    They no longer put these drops in the eyes of newborns - at least at my hospital. They have gone to erythromycin drops. Because....when you put these drops in newborns (or anyone for that matter), it would burn and turn their eyes red and swollen for days. Putting silver nitrate into a baby's eyes to prevent gonorrheal infection was once routine but has...

    I am doing better today. My stomach is still a little bit upset but no D. I hope that I don't get glutened again because I really don't enjoy it. To everyone: I took a lot of your advice to heart. I should be more careful and aware as to what is going on. I am just so laid back and have really no worries that I don't call the doctor when I should...

    Not sure if they were BH or not. My doc said that the BH contractions should not be painful but just a tightening of the uterus???? So I wasn't really thinking of that. Although, later on in the day it proved to be a severe case of glutening if you know what I mean. So, it ended up being funny in a way. All of you mothers out there can have a good laugh...

    I thought all you prego people out there would find my story a little too funny. This morning I thought for sure that I was having contractions. I am way too early to be having those (as much as I want this baby to be here already; I am only 32 weeks along for pete's sake!). I had about three or four of these "contractions." I drank plenty of water and...

    See....I thought that Maltodextrin is fine all the time. That DEXTRIN is said to be ok if made in the us - they are two different things. Anyone aware of this or am I just totally confused?
  19. Melzo
    I don't know that it is very important to have an ob/gyn that knows about celiac disease. I am seven months pregnant, and none of my ob's know what celiac disease is (other than what I told them about it). Just make sure that you stay on your gluten free diet while pregnant as best you can (the occational accident is ok and is NOT going to harm the baby...

    Dextrin can be made from corn, potato, tapioca, rice or wheat. Avoid it unless it specifies that it is corn dextrin, potato dextrin, etc... Maltodextrin is made from cornstarch - not to be confused. Therefore, I would probably call the company to clarify what the dextrin is made from and to see if the whole package is gluten-free. I take Nature...

    I wish that doctors would test for Celiac Disease immediately when woman show signs of infertility or miscarriages. It really should be the first thing they do. This of course does not negate the fact that the man could be the problem. However, I am sure it would help many women avoid the stress, hurt, and grief that they would go through otherwise...

    Well all...I survived. The orange drink, the RhoGam shot, getting poked with multilple needles. Glad it's done with! The orange drink was good. They gave it to me cold and tasted just like orange soda. ("Pop" if you live in Pittsburgh and those who do, you will know what I mean). I should have all the test results by next week. I'll keep...

    I also have a corn allergy. I haven't eliminated it because I do not have any type of reaction. I think that all people are different and you may or may not respond to corn. You are probably correct in just avoiding it right now while you heal. Then reintroduce it when you feel better to see how you respond. Good luck with your diet!

    ARCHIVED Anger

    Melzo replied to swittenauer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I KNOW that gluten makes me angry, have severe mood swings, and I am sometimes completely unable to control myself. I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder prior to being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. After finding out that I had the disease, I got off of all my meds because I knew the two were related. And they were. The first few months were difficult...

    My very good friend is a nutritionist and she stated that the most important things you can do while pregnant is to drink plenty of water and eat naturally - meaning eat lots of fruits, veggies, and good old meat. Stay away from the high in sugar and salt munchies. I can tell you - for the last two weeks I have been eating a lot of garbage (cookies...
