I stopped having stomach issues within a few days of being dairy-free. I had a bagel with some cheese when I was out with a friend yesterday and felt awful last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397300 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:29:26 +0000 Rockies11 2397300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yup! With both my kids I developed a bizarre allergy to the sun during the postpartum period. Sunlight would hit my body, and I would get a blistering oozy rash wherever it touched, even if it was through a window. And then after about 3 months, it went away completely. My doctor says it's not uncommon to develop short term allergies like that postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397295 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:26:29 +0000 LindsayInNY 2397295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Boo. I was hoping I was just losing it :(</p> <p>@Raindrop: Yes but not really food ones. But lactose?! GAH!</p> <p>@Silva: Damn you LO! Good thing you're so cute... Seems to make the worst things seem not so bad ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397211 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:29:23 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2397211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397185 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:12:02 +0000 Silva 2397185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy can change your immune system. I developed an autoimmune disease after pregnancy, and initially they suspected it was triggered by the pregnancy (but then my brother tested positive like a week later, so new theory!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397181 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:09:47 +0000 Tanjowen 2397181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I'm horribly allergic to our cat now, and I've never had an issue before! LO is also allergic to cats :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397114 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:32:07 +0000 Raindrop 2397114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have any allergies before?</p> <p>Allergies can change over time so I would say yes this could happen.</p> <p>Source : Personal experience. My allergies have changes many times over my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397113 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:30:31 +0000 Ash 2397113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I developed a food allergy after having lo#1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397111 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:29:13 +0000 coopsmama 2397111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, that's happened to two women I know. Specifically to dairy/lactose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-postpartum#post-2397100 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:18:50 +0000 LindsayInNY 2397100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it possible to develop allergies postpartum? Has this happened to anyone or am I losing it? I'm the last month I've been having stomach pains which I think might be lactose related. I'm 6 months PP. Is this even possible? </p>
