Almond allergy only during pregnancy?




cjs_mama2


I am pregnant with my 3rd child right now and I developed an allergy to almonds with the first two. I'm expecting to with this one as well. About 2 months after the baby is born the allergy goes away completely. What causes this? Is it something I'm doing?


Answer
hi, it has to do with your hormones and also your body chemistry changes when you are pregnant.

when my friend was pregnant she craved certain foods so badly that she had to eat them all the time, whereas before she was pregnant she hated them. few weeks or so after giving birth she went back to hating those same foods.

my other friend is a coffee maniac, when she became pregnant she couldnt even stand the smell of coffee it would make her sick.

seems that pregnant women are more prone to allergies and hayfever, many pregnant women complain they hayfever is out of control when they are pregnant.

if you are allegic to almonds be sure to read all labels.

best wishes on your pregnancy !!

Olive oil allergy during pregnancy?




tiredbutwi


Has anyone ever experienced a reaction to olive oil while pregnant? I have eaten olive oil twice now during my pregnancy and my lips have gotten numb both times - like a tingly allergic feeling. I have eaten it in the past and never had this. Any ideas why this would be occuring?


Answer
That does seem unusual. I didn't experience allergic symptoms to olive oil, but got very sick (pain and vomiting for up to two days) every time I ate out while pregnant. It didn't make any sense and we didn't figure out what was going on until a doctor sat down with me and made me write out everything I normally eat and everything I ate the few days before getting sick. I ended up have problems with my gal bladder, a rare but normal side effect of pregnancy. I usually eat really low fat at home so it was only when I ate out or at someone else's house where the food had a fattier content that I got sick.

Try to think about what you ate with the olive oil to make sure you rule out all possibilities. Think shellfish, mushrooms, any new spices (direct contact to cinnamon makes my daughters lips swollen and numb), or even produce that might not have been washed well (pesticides may be causing a reaction). Once you have your list talk to your doctor so you can figure out which food is causing you problems.

Good Luck.
