Milk?

Question

How much milk a day is okay?? It's all I've been able to keep down but I was told to be careful because some women can get Gestational Diabetes from too much milk?

Answer

Nothing actually CAUSES gestational diabetes. You either have it or you don't. It just depends on how your body processes sugar. You are fine with drinking milk. Especially since the baby will start draining the calcium from your teeth and bones.

Answer

Gestational diabetes is due to your body not responding correctly to hormones from the placenta. It has nothing to do with your diet.

Answer

I've never heard of that. I already did my testing but recently I've been drinking a gallon of milk in 2 days. I've got heartburn so bad and milk is the only thing that helps.

Answer

I never heard milk gave gb. I drank a ton of milk (I could easily finish a gallon by myself in 1-2 days). It was the only thing that didn't make me sick. My doctor told it drink as much as I wanted but make sure I was also drinking water.

Answer

I wouldn't worry unless you're drinking multiple gallons in a day. Usually gd has nothing to do with diet- you can eat super healthily and still get it.   Just be sure you're getting water too, and keep trying to reintroduce foods as time goes by.  I was sick for the first 2 trimesters, but gradually things started to be ok to eat again.

Answer

I've never heard of that! 
How far along are you? If it's all you can consume go for it! 
Milk is high fat and whilst it has milk sugar I can't imagine it causing diabetes?
