Anyone lactose intolerant and pregnancy?

Question

I'm concerned as I'm lactose & wheat intolerant but want to make sure my baby gets all the nutrients needed especially calcium. Anyone help?

Answer

Im lactose and gluten intolerant. I was missing a lot of calcium, iron, b vitamins, and omegas. Then my mom introduced me to green juices. I started looking up which plants gave which nutrients, and sure enough my dairy and wheat cravings went away. I even lost about 15 lbs just from the digestive benefits.

Answer

I am 6w3d pregnant and have the same question! So glad to find this thread!! I've always followed Paleo nutrition plans so I wondered if that is still safe while pregnant... Will do some research but does anyone have experience with paleo while pregnant?

Answer

I am! And of course I'm craving chocolate milk so I drink silk chocolate soy milk. My doctor told me to chew three tums a day as they are calcium supplements. Also helps with heartburn!

Answer

I am and I drink soy milk (silk chocolate) or almond milk. I wouldn't worry too much, though. You can get calcium through veggies, as well as fortified foods. I also eat a heavily gluten-free diet, as my fiancé has celiacs disease. My doctor says that babies are pretty good parasites and will take whatever nutrients they need from their moms, so to just eat as healthy as possible and eat whenever you're hungry.

Answer

I'm lactose intolerant and I tried everything on the market. Hated soy and those kinds, my friend told me about lactantia, I love it. It tastes like regular milk but without the lactose in it and still has all the calcium and everything else. You can also take a supplement, but I think prenatals have calcium in them too....

Answer

I am also, my doctor just said to take an otc calcium supplement along with vitamin D

Answer

I already take vit D and folic acid. Should I start taking calcium or do I need to ask the doc which brand is best x
