has anyone tried/heard of this?

Since I am expecting my 5th my pedi GI recomened me in my 9th month to give up milk/soy. Since Ryder had issues with it. He said it may help prevent some allergies.

Has anyone heard this or even tried it? Did it help at all?

Thanks

I’ve certainly heard of this. I’ve actually also heard of avoiding all milk (dairy, hidden dairy, casein) throughout the entire preganancy for mom’s where there is a history of severe milk intolerances or allergies. I’m considering doing that when we try for a third.

I am hoping that I will get pregnant again soon. I have cut out all dairy from my diet in preparation. I do not know that it will change anything, but it is definitely worth giving it a shot! 🙂

No idea, but congrats!

I have also heard of that. Especially if your planning to breastfeed because the milk proteins stay in your milk for some time. Justice has a millk allergy and I am also planning to get pregnant again soon and am not going to do any dairy or beef the entire pregnancy. I’m not even going to have it at all the whole pregnancy. Maybe going overboard, but it’s worth it to me.

I asked the GI last week about this and he said not to cut the milk and soy out of my diet. He said that there is always a chance that the new baby won’t have the allergy issues and the only way to know is to try.

My (almost) 3 year old has very bad gluten and dairy (and many other foods) intolerances, so I will be definately put myself on a strict elimination diet throughout my next pregnancy and while breast feeding. Of course it would be important to ensure you are getting enough protein, fats, calcium, etc. from other sources. For us, I would rather do that to give the next baby a chance at not having these intolerances, than deal what we are all going through with both of my kids food intolerance issues.

My pediatrician also recommended that I avoid all nut sources as well if/when I am pregnant again since Ben has a peanut allergy. He’s never had nuts in his life (I’ve been very strict about waiting until he turned 3) and we were quite surprised when testing showed he had a severe peanut allergy. They believe he acquired it when I was pregnant with him and I ate peanut butter.
