Are you sure it isn't your gallbladder? Either way, hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035394 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 04:23:09 +0000 nana87 1035394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fried food is not my friend right now, at 5 w 6 d! Except sweet potato fries--I read sweet potatoes are a pregnancy superfood so I ate those last night, and those seem to be sitting well ;) But I was at a week-long conference until yesterday that fed the participants every meal, and I'm a vegetarian and had very limited options--anything else fried was basically guaranteed to make me puke. I shudder just thinking about it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035295 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:24:11 +0000 LomaLinda 1035295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stomach hurt horribly after I ate fried foods while I was pregnant! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035294 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:22:59 +0000 bisous 1035294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! I had this problem during pregnancy. Between all the times I felt like I had a stomach bug and all the times I had terrible heartburn, I had a list like a page long of food I couldn't eat while pregnant. All went away immediately as soon as DD was born though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035293 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:22:03 +0000 autumnlove 1035293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I ate more fried stuff as my pregnancy progressed! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035280 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:10:56 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1035280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know the answer to this question specifically, but I wanted to share what my ND told me to take to "loosen things up", and provide calcium for baby:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003I4P3JS/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003I4P3JS/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035278 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:08:14 +0000 Corduroy 1035278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the few persistent cravings I had was for Jack in the Box curly fries. One day I finally decided to indulge. When I finally got my fries I devoured them pretty quickly. By the time I got home I felt terribly sick. I HAD to strip naked and then threw up in a trash can. It was the only time I threw up in pregnancy. I don't know why my body felt like being naked was so important. I'm so glad only DH was home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035263 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:57:06 +0000 LovelyPlum 1035263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: this is sort of what I hoped was going to happen, but alas...</p> <p>@IRunForFun: truth.</p> <p>@luckypenny: oh Hon :( that has got to be miserable. I'm discovering the whole cravings thing.for me is less "I need this now!" and more "that doesn't sound like I will throw it up instantly. Let's try it." After all, there is only so much fruit a girl can eat without getting bored out of her skull.</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I love Indian food, but that so does not sound good right now. I can see how it might make you sick. And thank you!</p> <p>@cascademom: it is so strange how different people have polar opposite reactions. I figured it was worth a shot, but I won't be doing this again for a long, long time.</p> <p>@autumnlove: me too, usually. But I was up for trying. Bad idea, apparently... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035242 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:37:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 1035242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a big problem with fried food specifically, but very fatty meals in general never sat well. The worst for me was Indian food. I usually love it but I had it a few times while pregnant, always mild, and felt so sick. </p> <p>I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035241 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:37:27 +0000 luckypenny 1035241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well besides from the fact that they <i>always</i> make me feel sick, its all I want. I never ever eat fried food and last week I made DH bring home Wendy's at 10:45pm :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035240 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:37:19 +0000 IRunForFun 1035240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That happens to me and I'm NOT pregnant. As my great-aunt likes to say, "Nothing hurts worse than a trapped fart!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035239 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:37:09 +0000 autumnlove 1035239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fried foods never upset my stomach but I tried to avoid them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035236 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:35:46 +0000 Smurfette 1035236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not just during pregnancy but sometimes fried foods upset my stomach and I have to GO to the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035221 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:31:08 +0000 cascademom 1035221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fried foods were the only thing I could eat in the beginning like first trimester. Near the end of my pregnancy, I broke up with acidic foods like tomatoes because of heartburn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-fried-foods#post-1035211 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:22:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1035211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so I don't normally eat a lot of fried foods, but nothing has sounded appetizing in days. So, when fish and chips sounded palatable, we went with it. We went to one of our favorite gastropubs, and it was awesome. Not overly greasy, and it hit the spot.</p> <p>Problem is, ever since we have come home, I have been in some serious pain. Some of it feels like it is due to my sluggish digestive track, and some feels like gas pain. But whatever it is, it has had me doubled over for almost three hours. It hurts. A lot.</p> <p>Did fried food ever make you sick during your pregnancy? I'm thinking that I'm going to avoid it at all costs from now on! </p>
