Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Our previous DAN! recommended against a GF or GFCF pregnancy, due to that potentially causing the baby to not tolerate gluten and/or casein. I have been GF for 8 months - purely for my own possible health benefit. I think there may be a benefit for me, but I'm not really sure. I am 100% willing to go off my GF diet, if there is a downside for my baby. What do you guys think? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 My only comment is that I ate more peanut butter in my second pregnancy due to gestational diabetes. I took a peanut butter sandwich to work with me for lunch when needed. Otherwise I never really ate peanut butter much at all, very, very little. Now that's my peanut allergic son, nt with a ton of other food allergies too, milk, soy, wheat, gluten, oats, eggs, pork, etc.... It's like he's allergic to everything I ate. Controlled the diabetes with diet only, low carb high protein. Really cut out drinking so much skim milk and orange juice and watched my bread intake and didn't eat out, couldn't keep track very well then. How my first didn't get any food allergies, spectrum child, no idea. So I'm not convinced I could have change the out come. Now breast feeding, that's a different issue. Could tell how I ate affected that baby, NO DOUBT! I say eat a healthy balanced diet. GF is not that big of a deal and actually much healthier life style. Good for it!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Ditto Tammy -- I hate milk but drank as much as I could while pregnant..now my kid is allergic to milk. Along with peanuts, and eggs... An allergy is an autoimmune response where the body doesn't recognize something and attacks it. I say stay GF but also focus on immune system enhancing foods (those containing Vit D) etc. > > My only comment is that I ate more peanut butter in my second pregnancy due to gestational diabetes.
