Hi Ladies,

I just found out on Saturday that I'm pregnant (about 5 or 6 weeks I think). I'm trying to find an Ob/Gyn right now, and I know they are going to put me on a prenatal vitamin. Anyone know if they are gluten-free?

You would need to get the brand name or check with the manufacturer. Ask your obgyn, he or she may have info on that...but you will probably just need to get the vitamin info and find out yourself...

I will have to check to see what I take. Mine are chewable. Congrats on your pregnancy!

I too just found out I am PG (about 7 weeks). I am sooooooo sick- how about you? I get real sick if I get hungry(shakey) and sick after I eat. Hope this doesn't last long....

My doctor gave me a prescription that said "needs to be gluten-free" and left it up to the pharmacist. However, the pharmacy called on the one that my insurance covers, and they said that it is listed as gluten-free, but they won't guarantee it. What in the heck does that mean? Has anyone else had issues with pharmaceutical companies not wanting to guarantee that it is gluten-free?

I just found out I'm pregnant about a month ago, and I'm about 8 weeks along I think. I am feeling extremely sick as well. If I don't eat I feel really queasy, but if I eat, I feel really queasy too! It doesn't even matter what I eat either...no matter what...I feel sick. I'm praying that it's just from being pregnant and not from something I have eaten being contaminated with gluten, because I've heard miscarriages are more common amung celiac women...

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
