SCD diet for pregnant mom?

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I just found out that I am pregnant with my second child. My

first was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and he has been on dairy-free SCD

since last October. I know I have yeast problems of my own (mostly

belching) and when I eat the same foods as my son it gets under

control. But now that I am pregnant I think I should stick to SCD

for the sake of my baby. Is that safe during pregnancy? Would you

make any modifications to the diet to account for pregnancy? What

about dairy? Do you think it's OK for me to have dairy as allowed by

SCD? I have my son off it just to be safe since we were on GFCF

before.

Thanks,

Kathy Heilmann

There have been a number of healthy SCD baby's born. Being on SCD

seems to help those who have been having difficulty getting pregnant

and some have gotten pregnant when not even trying to do so. I think

there are a couple of pregnant SCD moms on the list, hopefully they

will write in.

Are you taking B supplements? You may need some extra folic acid.

You should check with your doctor about this.

There are lots of legal dairy choices - cheese, yogurt. If you want

to avoid dairy you might be able to take some kind of calcium

supplement (doctor again), but it's probably better if you can get it

from a whole food source (that way you get all the other good stuff

like natural enzymes etc.)
