Gluten intolerance?

Question

I've never had issues with gluten before but this pregnancy it makes me feel HORRID! I know it is gluten because I eliminate it and feel fine, I go back to eating it and immediately feel like poo again. Bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, headache and fatigue 😖 I'm actually going to my regular doc to rule out Celiac 😕 has anybody else experienced this only in pregnancy? This is my third baby.

Answer

I was diagnosed celiac 6 years ago. Just be careful because celiac means bad absorption and bad absorption means lack of folate and other really really important stuff for you baby :(
Take your vitamins an see your doctor

Answer

Gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye. This includes the obvious: bread, pasta, crackers, etc. as well as lesser known things like soy sauce, cereals with malt flavoring, and even some ice creams, since it's used as a thickening agent.

Pregnancy can trigger celiac disease in patients that carry the inactive disease. I was diagnosed 6 years ago (pre-pregnancy).
I would definitely talk to your doctor about it and ask for the blood panel.

Answer

If you don't have celiac, you may have a gluten intolerance (like I do) or some other issue with malabsorption in the gut. It's good you're going to get checked out. We need all the nutrients we can get right now, and if our bodies aren't getting what we need from food, mom and baby can both suffer. Hopefully your OB is checking your vitamin levels, but if not you can have your regular doc do that.

Answer

Not gluten but dairy...I drink more milk than anyone I know any other time...since getting pregnant I can't even think about drinking milk or anything with milk or ice cream

Answer

I feel like the same thing is happening to me but the only thing I have been craving is starchy gluten filled stuff. Literally nothing else even sounds remotely appetizing.

Answer

Went and had a blood test yesterday so hopefully I get some answers!

Answer

I think I'm going through the same thing! I want to cut it out to test the theory but I'm confused as to what gluten is in. Is it just like breads and pasta?? I'm thinking it's starting to bother me since I'm pregnant.
