Gluten Free for me!!!

Well...R confronted me on Friday about my diet...I was not too happy about it but I knew he was right. i was diagnosed over a year ago as being gluten intolerant. Meaning I need to avoid anything made with Wheat, Rye, Barley...most all flour products. I was really good when it first happened and felt so much better. Well I have gotten really lax because it seemed to not be such a big deal. R pointed out that I was consuming LOTS of gluten and not feeling well at all. he asked me to try to give it up and see how I felt. OH MY GOSH!!! I feel so much better it is not even funny. I mean I feel like an idiot because I was eating all this crap and basically making myself feel worse and then blaming it on the pregnancy. the last 3 days have been amazing...I have energy and I am only burping/gagging a couple times a day. I wish I had figured this out for myself but I am so thankful that R was kind enough to point it out! HOORAY!!!

Sick and tired...

of being Sick and Tired. I had been told the second trimester is the best! you feel all happy and glowy and have all kinds of energy. I call bunk! I actually have felt worse in the last 2 weeks than I did at 6 weeks. I gag all day long no matter what I am doing. I can be sitting at my desk and out of no where a little air bubble and then GAG! Sometimes I can calm my stomach and other times I am off to the toilet. I feel like such a whiner...but honestly I just want to feel better. I want to have good thoughts about being pregnant and stop saying "I am not doing this again!"

Poor hunsband R and kitty Olive are catching it. He has had terrible indigestion and gagged while cleaning the litter box and poor kitty threw up yesterday. I swear this is contagious...don't come near me unless you want to feel the all body convulsion that is the GAG!

i have tried:
rolaids
tumms
pepsid AC, tablet and pill
ginger snaps, ginger chews

they all help for about 20 minutes...then back to the same old thing.

Hopefully my next update will be much cheerier!
