Did you avoid any foods while breast feeding?
So I have a weird allergy to undercooked shellfish. I had a mild reaction to lobster back in college and I think the lobster wasn't cooked all the way. I, also, have to wear gloves when cooking with raw shrimp. After its cooked, I have never had any allergic symptoms. I think it has to do with the iodine. I've had iodine (betadine) topically with no issues but it was used as a dye for my HSG once and I was bed ridden for two days. I think it was the iodine. Since then, if I need procedures they know of my shellfish allergy and know to not use iodine around me. Not really an issue if it's used externally but important in surgery where it can be exposed internally.
Anyway, last night, I had a craving for crabs and DH and I bought lobster, clams and crab legs (from costco) and had ourselves a seafood boil. It was yummy.
But now I'm wondering about the milk that I pumped. I'll definitely bring it to the hospital and ask the nurse and the dr about it.
Sad to think about but I guess it's better safe than sorry.
So did any of your Drs or pediatricians specifically tell you to stay away from foods you've had a mild reaction to?
