Snack Ideas To Help Morning Sickness

I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and my morning sickness seems to be triggered by hunger. I have class for 4 hours in the mornings so I've been trying to pack some healthy, gluten-free snacks but I tend to tire of the same things. Any ideas? Lately, I've been bringing cheese cubes, apples and rice crackers.

How about some little snack bags full of mixed nuts and dried fruit. Or some high protein muffins made out of almond flour or coconut flour. I'll make big batches of the muffins and freeze some so that I can have a variety and not get too burnt out on one kind.

A site I love to look for easy high protein baked goods is www.elanaspantry.com

She also has a great recipe for "power" bars that is really easy.

Hope you find some good snack to ward off the nausea.

Congratulations!!

I have the SAME problem, I am 12 weeks on Saturday. I have begun eating Black Jewel microwave popcorn which seems to help quite a bit. I also have apples and peaches, and carrots. The popcorn has been a HUGE part of my life recently though, that's what I am craving!

I'm kind of in the same boat. I feel sick if I let myself be hungry too long. I was sick for a bit until I started packing lots of snacks every day. But now I'm back to not feeling so great somedays.

The worst part is breakfast. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Cereal just sounds disgusting & everytime I have had to eat cereal because there was nothing else I felt really sick. I have even tried my different flavors of Chex but they're all a no go. Gluten free pancakes, biscuits etc all sound gross too. I've been eating eggs a lot but both days this week I've had eggs I've had a hard time eating them & feel sick after.

The different snacks I've been doing is fresh fruit. I started with a variety of apples, bananas, grapes & oranges but for the past week or more all I want are oranges.

Also been eating corn nuts but only seem to be able to eat ranch or chili picante so far. The BBQ were horrible to me.

I also have some gluten free rice cakes in a few flavors.

I've made gluten free brownies & keep a few of those around.

Also some straight up chocolate.

I finally tried the Glutino Crackers too & those are pretty good. I just ordered 6 boxes on Amazon & can't wait for them to get here. I'm thinking of trying some of their suggestions of putting some peanut butter, fruit or something on top of them. I have a lot of Nutella at home that I think I could use. One of their suggestions was a slice of banana with a little honey & cinnamon on top. Sounds pretty tasty to me right now. I ate the first box mostly making little sandwiches out of them. Some ham with cheddar cheese. That was breakfast a few days in the past few weeks until I ran out of unbroken crackers.

The most appealing thing to me seems to be fruit. It used to be eggs & fruit but now it's just fruit. Unfortunately I don't think I can make a breakfast out of fruit, especially not oranges though I did do that Monday morning this week...lol

Your cheese cubes reminded me. We have some string cheese in our fridge from when we tried making gluten free cheese sticks a while back & that actually sounds good. I think I need to dig that out :)

Hopefully we can give each other good ideas for some variety.

What about Lara Bars or an Enjoy Life bar? I always keep those in my purse in case I get hungry.

Blood sugar processing and needs are different during pregnancy, and it's really common to experience reactive hypoglycemia. I ate a lot of avocados (yeah, they're expensive, but it's only for a few weeks) and eggs and apples or rice cakes with peanut butter. Cereal sometimes, but something had to go along with it to provide fat.

Avocados are a MUST in my house. I ear every 2 hours and an avocado is usually the first on my list LOL

I have gotten used to the Glutino breakfast bars myself. Pick your flavor,......about 150 calories IIRC.

They are actually quite good IMHO.

You might try roasted chickpeas. You can find lots of recipes on the web - they end up tasting rather like corn nuts, although you can make sweet versions with things like cinnamon and sugar, or savory versions with paprika, salt, pepper, etc...

They keep for about a week, and while it takes a bit to make them, it's mostly soaking overnight and baking time, and very little actual effort on your part. :)

Very healthy, too, woo hoo.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
