superfoods
I've been craving seafood and I've been eating it all!! Raw and cooked. It is frowned upon but you can't help what you crave!
I've tried birth control pills and no relief. I had excision surgery and everything only got worse. The ONLY thing that has improved my endo is changing my diet. Cut out wheat/gluten, sugar, dairy, red meat and you'll feel better. Add superfoods like spirulina, goji berries, raw cacao, and you'll feel better. If you research Lupron you'll find that in independent studies something like 20% of all woman who get even one shot of it have debilitating side effects that never go away.
ve personally had cravings for only sweets and me and baby are doing fine-the key is moderation, and not having a lot of it. Do avoid pop though, for the reasons that the salt and sugar will actually dehydrate you, which is worse for baby than any of the aforementioned (in my post). Water is your new best friend.
I always ate deli meats throughout my pregnancy and to this day my baby is perfectly healthy. I had a deli sandwich for lunch today. I know sushi isn't good too eat because it's raw. Anything raw during pregnancy is bad. And I know you can eat tuna lobster and other stuff but not oysters or sword fish and shark I think.
Eat only foods that you can stomach. Your body will tell you. If you have no food aversions you are very lucky. Just remember to stay away from alcoholic drinks, and raw or foods that are not well done...moderation with everything. Eat yogurt, eggs, protein shakes, lots of fruits even dried fruits as snacks, saltine crackers. Eat every 2 hrs to keep nausea at bay. Fluids...
Lessen the amount of prepackaged products (including prepackaged salads etc) and increase your fruit and veg intake. Meats and fish are 'supposed' to be cooked properly all the way through (no med-rare). But you will get told aloy of what/what not to do. Just do what you think is best. There are women out there that have eaten all of the above throughiut and have had a perfectly healthy baby. Just be semi cautious.
My son is 15mo old and the pickiest eater, we let our son eat only finger foods. Let him pick up the foods he likes and feed himself. The book called baby Superfoods was helpful too. Is your son thin or a low weight percentile ??? mine is.
Whaty do you think ???
I love spicy food and continue to eat it (I am pregnant) I was reading some very interesting research about trying different foods and how it's healthy for the baby (except for food that's been put off the table like fish rich in mercury, raw eggs etc we have to stay away from the unsafe food during pregnancy) but other than that if ur tummy can handle it by all means eat spicy :) but make sure u are eating all the nutrients and minerals necessary as well.
She talks about experimenting with both raw and cooked goitrogens and noting the effects afterwards. She used to have a tense, tight feeling across her throat like a constricting of the airways. After about a year of avoiding these foods, she retested them and had no reaction.
"While I have spoken to many people who experienced the same reactions I did, there are others who have thyroid conditions who never had any of these issues.
Physical activity is a good anti-anxiety and self-esteem booster. Healthy diet and/or supplements and vitamins are always good to compensate the lack of nutriments
we are not getting in all the processed food and nutriments we lose by cooking our foods. It has been proven that you are more prone to physical and mental illness while lacking body's needs in nutriments.
Eating as many "whole" foods as possible (i.e. fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, unprocessed meats, fish, and eggs) is good in general for health. You want to avoid prepared and processed foods, and, as Rocker said, foods with ingredients you can't get at home. The advice to shop only around the edges of the grocery store is good. I would also try to get organic food if you can afford it.
Supplements cannot replace fruit and vegetables.
I have always been allergic to foods since growing up, but recently the lsit is getting longer especially with raw fruits and vegetables. I underwent new skin tests in July of 2009 to determine the ones I was confident I was having a reaction too, and the tests confirmed all of them. I am now concerned with my reaction (usually stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting) will cause damage to my esophagus, or if there is something else GI related that is going on.
Because some research has shown that women with PCOS are insulin resistant, we need to really watch our sugar intake, while eating LOTs of raw, whole, live fruits, veggies, and superfoods..This along with exercise, stress reduction, (yoga is the best for me) and supplements have been shown to help other women.. I have been pretty down lately, due to the hair loss and skin problems, and have yet to give the natural path a complete go of it.
