Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 I went CF only during the last 2 months of my pregnancy. That was when I had learned about the diet and had gotten my sons diagnosis. Once I got rid of the casein, I felt so great! I didn't go GF/CF until after my daughter was born and I nursed her. I did the diet for 8 months and only cheated once or twice. My daughter seems so perfect and is already saying 14 words (she's 11 mos. today), sat up at 5 1/2 months, crawled before 6 months, and walked at 9 mos. During the last 2 months of my pregnancy I supplemented with calcium powder, cod liver oil, extra vitamin c, and my prenatal vitamin. I totally cut out MSG and all preservatives. I did feel great while on the diet and had a lot of energy which helped when she was up all night in the beginning. I wish I had the will power to stay on it always but I love junk food too much!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Hi all, I'm sort of new to this egroup. I need some advice. I'm pregnant with our 3rd child. Now being pregnant I'm off gluten,preservatives/additives and as much msg as I can. When the baby is born, should I breast feed keeping to the diet I already implement. I say this thinking the baby will need immunity, as autism is linked with the immune system. Breast milk is good for this. If so when should I stop breast feeding and go caesin free? Or should I go caesin free from the start? Should I be off caesin now? My intake is very very low, eg. milk in decaf coffee. Hope someone has some great advice. I'm sure these questions would have been covered before this regards Carmel Australia ------------------------------------------------------ InterNet Australis http://www.australis.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Breast milk is best. I think going casein free now would be a good idea, just eat plenty of green leafy veggies. I wouldn't quit breast feeding till you come to the point you can't stand it. Hopefully you can get a year in, but the longer you breast feed the longer your baby is getting the perfect food, which would be best on the digestive system, and our kids have problems in that area. I'm no expert, but that's my thinking. Lolita >Hi all, >I'm sort of new to this egroup. I need some advice. I'm pregnant with >our 3rd child.
