Re: food

What exactly can you NOT eat? Just about everything is OK in moderation!!!

The ONLY thing I totally cut out was alcohol, artifical sweeteners, and tuna (and that was because I wasn't a huge fan of it).

Re: food

Re: food

I only stay away from a few things. I think you can have just about anything in moderation.

Re: food

I know it's hard. My doctor told me cold cuts are ok if they are heated or cooked. I limit them to about once a week or every 10 days. I know people say everything in moderation but my doctor wasn't really for that either. She told me to steer clear of a lot of things so that's what I'm doing. Lunches are awful now because most of my staple lunches are a no. Just try to find food that you enjoy and before you know it you'll be eating all of your favorite foods again.

Re: food

the only things i have stayed away from are alcohol and artificial sweetners. i have had cold cuts, feta, caffeine, foods with nitrates, etc.--all on occassion. i'm still doing okay.

Re: food

My doctor doesn't want me eating peanut butter which is killing me! It is the only food item that I want on my no list.

( i know it is random too because I have never heard of peanut butter being a no-no but...)

Re: food

My Dr. told me the only definite NO's are
Sushi and Unpasteurized Cheeses...everything else in moderation and cold cuts heated up are fine.

As far as Feta and/or Mozzarella - they are fine as long as they aren't imported. Just make sure they are made in the U.S. and you are fine.

Everything in moderation is the key.

Re: food

When I first got my BFP I felt the same way. I felt overwhelmed at what you hear, but in the end.....do what you feel comfortable with!

I totally know what you mean!!!!!!!!!! I'm Greek, and it's like what do you mean i can't eat feta....

I understand many of the ladies run the route of everything in moderation, but my doctor was against that. He said it's 9 months, and to stay clear of it.

I just found nitrate free turkey bacon at the grocery store, you can have that!!! I try to avoid coldcuts or if I eat them I heat them up first. Some MDs say if you eat them, just get them from a reputable place so I have slipped up once and awhile, but you have to do what you are comfortable with!!
I know what you are feeling!! I finally found my comfort zone and now I have GD so I have to restrict again!
