Welcome. I want to first wish everyone reading this a happy Valentines day. I hope you are spending it with loved ones and getting lots of hugs and kisses! My son gave lots of hugs and kisses in a group hug earlier. It was amazing. Even better, it was totally unprovoked. You can't not love random acts of love my a toddler. Talk about warm and fuzzy. Belly bean even got into the mix, wiggling around and making his/her presence known.
Now onto the subject at hand, I know you are shocked, it's food!

Isn't validation always such a wonderful thing! I have been on a research binge for the past couple weeks as I have mentioned in a previous post and today I have come across some really wonderful stuff! It has all validated previous theories I have had (but had no real proof for). So if you are interested, I now officially believe that most people should not consume tomatoes as it likely causes an immune response in the body (proteins of other night shades would likely do it as well but perhaps to a lesser extent). This wasn't documented in research that I have officially found (I just haven't got to looking) but Sarah at The Paleo Mom did validate me there with her research and insight on the fact that saponins in tomatoes are used in vaccine manufacturing to promote an immune response. Specifically α-tomatine.
Well, I'm 20 weeks into my pregnancy and have maintained a paleo diet through most of it. I did introduce some dairy for a spell (and chocolate is never fully out) but the raw cheddar which based on the GAPS diet should be good by now was definitely not good, especially after adding holiday stress to the situation. I have also been on a crazy researching kick trying to figure out why I have some "odd" symptoms that I didn't have pre-pregnancy (while still paleo) and why I am able to eat food that used to bother me on occasion. As a result autoimmune (and the autoimmune protocol) hit my radar.
Paleo pregnancy isn't that difficult except for the fact that there is very little support. I have a program (or two) online that I would love to be able to purchase but they are a bit out of the budget right now. |
