Hopefully someone in this forum has experience w/ crohns and coeliac disease and they can help you better. Im "Assuming" you are a T2, of course, till you met w/ your doc.
I do wish you the very best of luck. Have you been instructed as to checking your bs or a range at where the doc wants you at?

Hello Jo And Welcome To Tony's Forum. A Big Congratulations to you
and your Hubbie on the birth of your Baby Boy. That's Awesome.
Sorry to hear that you have all those conditions going on at the same
time, especially when you have a Baby to look after.
Well, I don't have gestational or Type 2, Crohns or Celiac Disease but
I do have many other conditions and Type 1. :) So I'm not of much help
here, but there are some Ladies with Gestational Diabetes and Type 2.
Ask anything that comes to mind and hopefully someone can help you.
Meantime have Fun enjoying your new Baby :star: :marchmell and
your new Community. :)

I had to wait 8 weeks for my first appointment with the specialist. :frown: The only advice I would have probably done with was that I should add rice and flour to the list of foods to cut back on. Best of luck!

hi jo welcome and congrads on your new baby boy.

i'm new to the broads also and feel that i finally found the support that i've needed for a long time about my health (weight problems & diabetes).

the Dr. really didn't tell me anything about how to manage this disease, all she did was prescibe meds and make an appt for the nutritions to explain, but i still didn't get it.

posting here and reading other post has helped me understand how to go about getting my BS and diet under control.

i hope it does the same for you and everyone else who find this site
