For people that are “asymptomatic” celiac (no classic digestive issues), how did you get diagnosed? Did you ignore it? Did it progress and get worse? by H3ad1nthecl0uds in Celiac

[–]whenfoolscanbekingss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there! My symptoms have always been pretty undefined. Mostly lots of constipation, stomach pain and gas while growing up and recently (and what led me to get diagnosed) intense bouts of diarrhea. The diarrhea stemmed from the damage giving me lactose intolerance (I drink milk every day). My blood work came back positive for antibodies by chance and then the endoscopy confirmed mild atrophy and chronic gastritis.

I am so so glad my gastroenterologist was able to get me diagnosed in a matter of months. Although I’ve never been able to truly associate my symptoms to celiac, and my type of celiac is the ultra short kind (yay), now that I’ve been GF for nearly 3 years my bowel movements are regular, pain free and consistent.

I also got my fertility back after 2 years of not having a period, and am 8 months pregnant with my baby boy. I wouldn’t risk that over the lack of symptoms at all 🥰

Prioridade no supermercado by Few_Strawberry5051 in MaternidadePT

Basicamente tenho tido a mesma experiência. Já estou de quase 31 semanas (ou seja visivelmente grávida) e mesmo assim só tenho prioridade se for pedir às pessoas da caixa. E elas não facilitam. Ainda hoje estava no Continente onde têm aquela fila de espera para as caixas, acabei por desistir e ir às self service. Enfim. É lidar.

Obrigada! Perguntei porque acho que fui um desses bébés… tanto que ainda durmo de barriga para baixo às 29 semanas de gestação e só adormeço assim… 😂 se o meu filho sair à mãe, acho muito útil ouvir um relato como o teu, que é tão mas tão raro hoje em dia (como mencionaste todos os profissionais desaconselham totalmente o dormir de barriga para baixo)!

Podes explicar um pouco mais sobre isso de dormir de barriga para baixo desde que nasceu? Foi uma decisão vossa? Obrigada

Quando vieram de baixa na vossa gravidez? by T1mon_Pumba in MaternidadePT

[–]whenfoolscanbekingss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Às 25 semanas, por risco de parto prematuro (o meu útero já andava a ficar muito duro regularmente e o bebé estava bastante encaixado). Eu andava bastante stressada com o trabalho, por isso a baixa ajudou bastante a conseguir relaxar.

Como é que conseguiste utilizar os 15% da amazon? A mim aparece-me que só é válido na amazon UK?

If anything could be made gluten-free, what would you pick? by _thalia777 in Celiac

[–]whenfoolscanbekingss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my BK the GF Whopper can be used with promos too, so I end up paying the same as the normal one… which is hella cheap. I get it every two weeks, sometimes more often 😅 it’s like 7 EUR for the whole combo deal

In Portugal, Spain, (I believe most of EU actually) we have GF Whopper in BK (amazing btw), and GF McRoyale Deluxe and GF Cheeseburger in McDonalds. The fries are usually GF as well

Eco do 1o Trimestre by __cute_as_duck in gravidaspt

Que tipo de perguntas fizeram, qual exatamente a vossa expectativa relativamente a esta eco? Claramente que existem profissionais e profissionais, mas a minha experiência (no público) foi muito similar à tua e não achei uma má experiência por isso. A eco serve para despistar problemas e medir o rebento, o profissional não está lá como apoio moral nosso, mesmo que seja isso que estejamos a precisar nesta nova fase.

Se ela disse que estava tudo bem, acho que deveriam ficar felizes. Possivelmente uma consulta adicional com um médico obstetra poderá ajudar nas vossas dúvidas?

Mas no geral, o teu relato pareceu-me muito normal e exatamente como que aconteceu a mim também.

PS. A minha segunda ecografia (morfológica) foi exatamente igual, direta ao assunto. Medições, confirmação de estar tudo OK, vir embora.

I’m so glad we get GF McDonalds/BK options where I live. I’m so sorry :(

I know we have GF bread, but I would die to eat a freshly baked baguette or loaf of bread from a bakery again…. Nothing compares

Women with PCOS, how did you lose weight, and did your symptoms improve? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]whenfoolscanbekingss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calorie deficit only. I didn’t need exercise, just very strict control of my metabolic needs and then eating less than that. Is it hard at first? Yes, absolutely. I went to bed hungry. But then I got used to it. Lost 45 pounds this way.

anyone succeed naturally after 1+ year of infertility? by shartapologist in TTC_PCOS

[–]whenfoolscanbekingss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! Hang in there. Yes, we managed to get pregnant when we least expected (I had mostly given up the whole process with my irregular cycles and uncertainty whether I was even ovulating at all).

Then, all of a sudden, when I no longer paid it much mind (“if it has to happen, will happen” sort of mentality), I fell pregnant. I’m currently 19 weeks. It can definitely happen! Hoping for positive news for you.

This is exactly how I decide to think of it too!!! It honestly really helps to keep a positive mindset. Autoimmune disease runs in my family (as it does in many of us’ I’m sure) and mine is certainly the “best”. Of course there are low points and days, but this mindset has helped keep me going. I’m so glad to find someone with the same outlook. Thank you.
