pregnancy and cultured foods

[Guest guest]

Hi All, just wondering if any of you mamas out there who have been

eating cultured foods, fermented foods know if there are any dietary

prohibitions against eating any of these foods during pregnancy?

Here in the US (understanding some folks are living in other

countries, and definitely appreciating your experiences!), most

pregnant women are warned against eating soft cheeses like brie, and

a couple of other items, apparantly the culture has some negative

health effect.

I know I am being vague, but you get the idea--we have recently

gotten into making kimchee and sauerkraut (which I love!). Also

might have a pregnancy in the works (emphasis on might, not certain

yet), and as I was packing cabbage, leeks, carrots, and shallots

into a crock tonight, it made me wonder.

Thanks, Leann
