I'm hoping to get some advice from those of you that have experienced  
similar signs and symptoms.  First of all, my son was just diagnoses  
with Celiac this summer.  I had blood tests done which did not show  
any abnormalities.  I'm aware that blood tests are not necessarily  
conclusive, but I don't have any digestive issues so I wasn't  
concerned that I have it.

I'm currently 7 months pregnant with my third child.  I'm having  
incredible side/rib pains that is much, much worse than with my first  
two pregnancies.  My doctor and a physical therapist don't have an  
answer for this pain.  The only other thing I notice is that during  
pregnancy the skin on my hands is extremely dry, cracks, and bleeds  
regardless of how much lotion I use.

Due to my son's recent diagnosis, my doctor suggested I try a gluten  
free diet.  I'll gladly try it to see if the side/rib pain goes away.   
Has anyone else had these issues?  Have you had symptoms only during  
pregnancy that may have gone away after pregnancy?  Is it possible to  
be gluten sensitive just during pregnancy?  Any thoughts or advice  
that you have would be greatly appreciated.
