Food Allergies & Cravings

FriendlySouthernerFriendlySoutherner member
in February 2016 Moms
I'm allergic to corn/high fructose corn syrup and a few other things...so I have to be extra careful about the processed or fast foods I purchase. Lately I have been craving cheesy beef nachos and salty tortilla chips AND Taco Bells' nacho cheese beef chalupas (UGGH!!). It's so annoying that I cannot even enjoy a little :( Any other mama's on here craving things you obviously can't have???

    Milkshakes, blizzards, anything like that. If I do enjoy them, I'm bloated for the next 4 hours.

    @egraves4 Oh my those Dairy Queen snicker blizzards are my weakness. Its loaded with corn syrup :( You may can make you a milkshake with almond or goat milk? The only ice cream that doesnt mess with me is sugar free of Breyers natural vanilla.

    I could really go for an apple.... in fact, I actually took a bite of one a few weeks ago and H just about killed me. My reaction was so minimal, I'm actually hopeful I may be able to reintroduce them soon!!

    I cannot eat cinnamon anymore! I ate some Quaker oat cinnamon cereal last week and my mouth, tongue, and throat was tingling for hours! It was the scariest thing I have dealt with. I cannot eat pork of any kind and I have to really be careful about dairy. I am lactose intolerant anyway but this pregnancy has amplified my symptoms.

    My throat closes up when I have curry, and with my first I was craving spicy Indian food. Usually i never even think about Indian food, but I just really wanted it when I was pregnant with my son!

    I've been wanting to make banana bread but I'm allergic to those. Just glad avocado allergy hasn't struck! My sister became allergic to them after her pregnancy. Just runs in the genes I guess!

    Avocado and banana allergies are related so that actually makes sense! Are you allergic to latex? That goes with it, too!

    I'm mildly allergic to eggs, enough that I don't eat straight eggs ever. And I really want them! Knowing how I will feel after is enough to deter me.

    I have a wheat intolerance and the pregnancy has made it so much worse, so staying clear...except the day my body desperately wanted a piece of bread and nothing else...felt good at the time hehe!

    @txbrideinblue luckily I am not! I still tell them whenever at the hospital although the one where I will give birth doesn't even use latex anymore.

    @txbrideinblue No thankfully! But when I do recieve medical care I make sure they know I'm on a Kosher diet due to my allergy to pork/gelatin and shellfish. I know alot of meds have gelatin in them as well as dextrose which can come from corn. I'm oddly allergic to pears now even though I use to eat them as a child. Latex would be brutal.

    I've heard that many lactose intolerant moms can have dairy while pregnant and they're fine. Something about the body recognizing you need calcium? I've been able to drink milk lately and have been fine!

    @FriendlySoutherner What is your allergy to corn? Two of the first three ingredients in the ice cream you mentioned come from corn.

    @VitaLuna Sorry Im just replying. The kind I get "Natural Vanilla" only has 5 ingredients (milk, cream, sugar, vegetable gum - tara & natural flavor) and it has never messed with me thankfully. I have HS (hidradenitis supprativa) which is triggered by corn syrups/corn products. It causes me to get a painful boil under my pits or groin (before I had my sweat glands/hair follicles removed). Since the surgery I only get 1 on my labia area or thigh if I eat something my body doesnt agree with (weird I know). I had an allergy test done and corn didnt pass the test so I linked it together.

    I thought you were saying you bought the sugar free Breyer's, so I was confused at how that worked but other stuff didn't!
