foods to avoid?

My dr never really told me what foods to avoid. He gave me a book but the chapter on food isn't all that great. I know the obvious things like alcohol, heating up cold cuts, and limited caffeine but as far as the not so obvious things go, it seems like different doctor's have different recommendations. What foods should I be avoiding?

Re: foods to avoid?

Those are the main things. some doctors are more laid back about it than others.

-alcohol
-caffeine
-cooked fishes high in mercury
-raw fish
-unpasteurized milk and cheese products (mostly blue cheese, brie, blue-veined cheeses, gorgonzola, feta)
-cold cuts
-raw eggs or anything involving raw eggs (salad dressings, cookie dough, etc.)
-some herbal teas (not 100% on this one)


i think that is about it.

I really liked the site americanpregnancy.org. It was a great reference for this info and not overwhelming.
