After having DD1, the seasonal allergies got a bit better, actually, but the food sensitivity remained. After DD2, my food sensitivities expanded and became more serious and my seasonal allergies were horrible this past season, though they were about average while I was still nursing DD2 the previous year. I'm really hoping this is not the new normal because I don't think I can handle another several months of that every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891866 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 19:10:51 +0000 Silva 2891866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I developed celiac disease after my first pregnancy, and the doctors initially thought it was pregnancy that had changed my immune system...but then my brother was also diagnosed, so new theory was developed ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891864 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 18:45:16 +0000 lioneyes 2891864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So crazy that this is a common thing! And i had never heard of it! I have an appointment with an allergist for next week.<br /> In this week’s NYT magazine there is an article that details similar allergic reactions to mine and what many of you had described, will see what doctor says. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891861 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 18:17:56 +0000 LomaLinda 2891861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! After my first pregnancy, I became sensitive to avocados, bananas, and eggs. I can’t eat them without intense stomach pain, so I avoid them now. I’ve also noticed sensitivity to broccoli and cauliflower lately. My OB said to get tested once I am done pregnant/nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891781 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 07:41:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2891781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I became significantly less sensitive to dairy after my first pregnancy and that stuck after my second. I still don’t drink an entire glass of milk or anything but I am not lactose intolerant anymore. I lucked out on that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891777 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 05:51:47 +0000 Pumuckl 2891777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained new sensitivities with each pregnancy. With the first it was fennel, with the second avocado and with the third it was apples. </p> <p>Now that my twins (pregnancy #3) are 2.5 I can eat limited amounts of both apples and avocados again 🤷‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891657 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 08:54:35 +0000 nana87 2891657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During my pregnancy w lo2, I had horrible gas pains when I ate cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, and I still get them if I eat too much. I had a major aversion to kale too and still can’t eat it, but that wasn’t a sensitivity.</p> <p>I did have major digestive issues though that never went away in general, and waited far too long to see a gastroenterologist (who prescribed meds for gerd and found a hiatal hernia as well), so def seek help sooner than I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891651 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 08:21:55 +0000 Mommy Finger 2891651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oddly enough, pregnancy "cured" some of my sensitivities. I used to break out into hives if I ate soy and I don't anymore. I also had a strong gluten sensitivity that I don't have as bad anymore. However, if I eat eggs every day, I get super crampy and bloated. Hormones are a crazy thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891645 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 07:41:22 +0000 jhd 2891645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilary: having my second did nothing to change it. So same here! I miss cheese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891641 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 06:42:22 +0000 hilary 2891641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: Same here, but instead of after my first it was after my twins. Dairy free for life now because 3 is plenty of kids for me so no hope of an additional pregnancy reverting it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891634 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 05:01:02 +0000 Kaohinani 2891634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: Yes, I have a wheat allergy (itchy eyes, itchy throat, headaches, rashes, and stomach discomfort) which flared during my pregnancies and had become worse after my 1st nearly 12 years ago. At first, prior to becoming pregnant, I was diagnosed with a wheat (and possible gluten) sensitivity; however, after giving birth to my DD, I tested positive for an actual wheat allergy! I also had developed a mild lactose intolerance which was terrible because I craved milk my 1st pregnancy (along with dark chocolate and oranges) and cheese (and bananas and steak - not together. :silly: 😉😂) in my second one. It is so funny [and frustrating] what pregnancy can do to a body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891620 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:40:25 +0000 pinkb 2891620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworker became allergic to carrots after her second. Pretty sure I can no longer drink beer now after my third. I had 2 Coronas and had one of the worst hangovers of my life. Puking, throbbing head, the whole 9 yards. like I had drank a whole big bottle of wine all by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891610 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 19:58:44 +0000 jhd 2891610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I became sensitive to dairy after having my first. I still have it in trace amounts but avoid milk, cheese, ice cream etc. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891594 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 19:02:30 +0000 JennyPenny 2891594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not food, but my allergies to pets increased significantly after my 2nd. The internet seemed to support that allergies can change (for better, worse, or brand new) during and after pregnancy because it’s basically an immune system reset. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891589 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 18:46:02 +0000 SweetCaroline 2891589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During pregnancy, dairy really started bothering me--excessive mucous (sorry) and sinus issues. 5 years later...still an issue. No problems prior to pregnancy. If I'm lucky enough to het pregnant again someday, I hope it is triggered back to normal :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-food-sensitivities-after-pregnancy#post-2891588 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 18:35:10 +0000 lioneyes 2891588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else have new food allergies or sensitivities? During my pregnancy with DD and now continuing 9 mo pp, I have developed a new sensitivity to carrots! Horrible GI pain and nausea. I asked my OB and she said I should see an allergist, so that’s my next step. </p>
