what ails me?
I think I might have an ulcer. Or a gluten intolerance. But geesuz this is all sorts of painful.
Extreme stomach discomfort this pregnancy has left me google hopping from one malady to another. One of my most prominent ideas right now is that I may have a gluten or a dairy intolerance. It's interesting that I am speculating this now, since I have a vague memory of being diagnosed with a wheat and dairy sensitivity as a child. I called my mom to confirm, and of course she can't remember, even though we both agree that she took me off milk when I was 7. Sooooo this leaves me to do my own investigative work.
The obvious thing to do, would be to remove these foods from my diet. But I am pregnant and the last thing a pregnant girl wants to do is take away bread and ice cream. Really? Instead, I just keep complaining about my constant discomfort and reading about what I should not be eating, on the internet.
My recent discovery of the blood type diet has my head spinning. I have an O+ blood type. This diet states very clearly that all the foods I presumed were giving me problems are on the forbidden list! Blood type O was the first human blood type, so it's genetic makeup is designed to be a hunter/gatherer. According to the theory, those who still have this blood type today should be eating a strict diet containing mostly of meat, vegetables, and fruits, with limited grains, legumes, and dairy. I'm truly baffled. I want to test this out, badly. If only I can find a way to not eat more meat and still consume cheese.
8 months today and still growing.
PS: WebMD is a very dangerous place for a pregnant girl to be searching "stomach pain".
