I have talked to my chiropractor who also functions like a nutritionalist and he muscle tested me for other food allergies. He has suggested I stay away from corn and avocados. Looking back over the past month or so I can say that after eating things that have corn in them I did not feel great and felt very perplexed as to why.
Last night was a very bad night where I got really dizzy before we ate and only made it through about 1/2 of dinner before needing to stretch out on the couch. I even felt like my nausea was aggravated all the more by how much my little girl was moving around inside. Lately, I have felt like she is doing kick boxing in there.
So all this to say my Chiro is now suggesting I try to go for a couple of days and just only eat:
Unlimited meat- all kinds
Unlimited Fruit and veggies
For starch - potato or yam.
Salt for seasoning.
Lastly he said to make sure to eat a lot of food and do not avoid fatty meatsLastly, everyone always has their suggestions and I appreciate them but I only have so much money. It is expensive to try what this person thinks will make you feel better or what that person did. Maybe a liquid vitamin would help but $60.00 a month to try something is a lot of money. Just eating this way alone is super expensive. This baby is 100% worth it but I just needed to write about my frustration.

uuggghh - that sucks!! I am so sorry Jewels. and with all the preggos you know, I bet it's hard to hear when other people are doing good and feeling great.
The increased nausea with baby movement is totally normal though - and will probably stick around until that last month or so when baby doesn't have that much room to kick around anymore.
I know very little about food allergies - but I do know about patterns and schedules after my 2 little ones. I think you just have to find a pattern that works for you. If going to bed early helps - try going to bed before you start feeling really bad (yes - even if that means 5 or 6pm!!)After a while maybe you can slowly push that time back later and later. If you feel worst after eating dinner, maybe skip dinner - go to bed - then eat a small meal late at night and go straight back to bed?? It certainly won't harm you to get more sleep - might as well get it now while you can ;)
I'm praying for you Jewels, and I hope you find something that works. And you are right - in the end this will all be worth it!!
I sending my best prayers your way, Jewels :) Fire up the grill and cook up lots of grilled steak and veggies. Sorry I have no other advice to give, but I understand the power of venting, so continue writing about your troubles and hopefully that will give you at least some emotional if not physical relief.
Hi Julie!
I'm sympathizing because I was a miserable pregnant lady for sure!!! Every symptom I had it! Escpeciallly with Jayden because my Crohn's disease really flared up causing a great deal of pain. My encouragement with both pregnancies came with the delivery (a long way to wait I know), because I absolutely positively loved loved loved the labor and delivery. You can do this....find joy in the small things and continue to fix your mind on Christ!
Love Adrienne
