Cyndy, I wish I had an answer for you, but the truth is, I don't know what to eat/avoid, either. Every time I start having problems (such as right now) I go back to the various "diets" I tried but I haven't found a pattern. Sometimes I felt better GF, sometimes eating gluten, sometimes cutting out other things helped (such as sugar) but then didn't help next time...
As for my pregnancy update - I've been so bloated and constipated this week! I finally took some laxative last night because I just couldn't bear it anymore, but the bloating is still huge. I want to be able to hide it for another 1.5 months or so. People at work are already making "joke" comments, such as "oh, you're not drinking again (when going out), you must secretly be pregnant", plus we've had a few pregnant colleagues recently so everyone's sort of watching out for the next one. It's hard to explain that my bump is not because of a baby but because of a terrible bloating. None of them knows what it's like to be really bloated, all the women I work with are super-skinny and have flat-stomachs and tiny waists. Oh well, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to hide it for much longer.
