Not sure if anyone has gone through this or not....

I take a beta blocker for my pulse and was wondering if anyone has gone through pregnacy where they were on heart medication? What safe medicine did your dr put you on? And that is also Gluten Free?

I have a check up appt with my heart dr this month and was going to ask him and then the next week I have my yearly appt with my Gyno and was going to talk to him about it as well. Just trying to do some research ahead of time.

I have a call in with my Gyno office they are going to check on some meds that I can call the manufacture on and see if gluten free. I just don't know anyone who is gluten free and on heart medicine wanting to have kids.

My husband and I always thought we had time to wait to have kids. But with my Gyno wanting to do a laparoscopy possibly to check for Endometriosis we are just at the point where I/we are nervous about things and if we are still going to be able to have kids. I am thinking of getting my heart medicine changed now to something safe so I can get the medicine out of my system that is not okay to be on if preg. and start to take approprate prenatals etc. I am jumping it some possibly with the worring and all but I guess that is how I am...I like things planned ahead especially if we are able to have kids I don't want anything in my system that shouldn't be so trying to plan months.... ahead.

Sorry for the rambling....

Thanks for any input

Well I had my heart appt check up last week and my wellness exam this week. Talked to both drs about medicine and heart dr brought up two and my gyno said no to one of them and said this other one (sorry they are at home written down) that he suggested.

My gyno is scheduling me in for a laparoscopy (nervous about) and then we will go from there.

Pretty much when we are ready to have a child if still possible and if I do get preg then we would change the heart medicine right away. Guess the old medicine leaves the body quickly.

Now after the laparoscopy depending on what the results are we still have to figure out with my heart/pulse situation if it is safe for me to go through pregnacy. My husband and I want kids but he said if I would be in any type of danger or life threatening then he doesn't want to take the chance of anything happening to me.....

Just keeping our fingers crossed that things go okay during this process.

If anyone has been in this type of situation or similar please share any info you have =)

Thanks and Happy Holiday!

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.

      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).
