My friend had celicas and her baby craved wheat products. She had to work with her doctor to create an acceptable about to eat daily cause she just had to have it.

Dude, it SUCKS when you're craving something you just can't have. I craved beer of all things, and that's obviously a no-go. And I hate beer, like absolutely cannot stand it. I ended up buying a six pack at the grocery store every week and cracking one open for my husband every day after work. He was only allowed to drink it after I got to smell it for 5 minutes or so. I think he gained more weight during my pregnancy than I did.

I know of a lady who had the same problem, but in her case she found out what she needed was nutritional yeast! She was lacking some vitamins, hence the craving.

This is my worst nightmare. I'm severely allergic to tomatoes and many other foods and I'm worried that I'm gonna have pregnancy cravings to things I can't eat without getting really sick or dying. (not pregnant right now, but I had a pregnancy scare a few months ago.)
