Food Allergies - Who's Need's Em?
So far this pregnancy has been really hard for me. I know there are people who have it much much worse but still this is not easy. Today I went to see my Chiropractor who also tends to function as my nutritionalist and he helped me figure some stuff out. My stomach has been wigging out whenever I eat carbs. Even the good stuff like brown rice, wheat free corn bread, corn, barley etc... He said that for some people when they get pregnant their food allergies get worse and their bodies do no produce the acids and enzymes necessary to digest food. So he suggested I stick to meat, vegetables, nuts, fruit and potatoes. I am also going to add in some digestive supplements with each meal. So we will see how it goes. He said the good news is that this should all go away after you have the baby! Does he know what he is saying. So for the next 7 months no carbs except for potatoes! Oh boy!
