Doc's Advice?

Today I went to see my doctor b/c I had gluten reaction from CC or maybe the saled dressing I had at bob evans... still not sure, they said the dressing was safe. anyway, I was also having some sort of allergic reaction too. ALong with a DH rash. So my doc gave me a cordizone (sp?) shot to help with the reaction and sending me to get food allergey test done. he also finally gave me celiac spure diag , which I have seen many docs for many years and nothing... so huge weight lifted off my shoulders.. don't feel so crazy anymore!

Well, now for my question I have a 10mth old that I still nurse some and the doc asked me if I was planning to stop soon (gonna take him to a year if my supply lasted)... he does'nt really like the idea of me nursing with the shot but, wants me to decide. Any advice?

I would contact the La Leche League and see what they say--they know WAY more than the docs about anything to do with nursing, including what gets into breast milk and what doesn't.

The website is www.lli.org, I think. If that doesn't work, google "La Leche League."

Good luck, and bravo to you for nursing! I could never understand why anyone would want to wean their baby to chemicals out of a can put into a plastic bottle with a rubber nipple, anyway...

I am a lactation counselor, but unfortunealty the book we have on meds and nursing is 3 yrs. old, so I don't feel comfortable giving the advice in there. Calling a local lactation consultant is a good idea. If you can't nurse while on this med, you could at least pump and dump your milk until the med is out of your body. You may have to do the formula for a few days, but at least your milk supply won't decrease.

Thanks, Under my docs new advice I am giving him mainly formula right now and nursing only some. He said it should be ok... my son seems to be happy with that arrangement. I am trusting the doc is right?. This whole nursing thing on what is safe and whats not is hard and never usually a clear cut answer... esp since I have been adjusting to a gluten-free lifestyle.

Just an FYI, call Bob Evans and talkto someone knowledgable about the food. I recently found out that my local Bob Evans home fries arrive seasoned, the chicken arrives frozen with dairy items (my kid is allergic to dairy). I left that day eating an awful burger patty and small side of fruit, and still hungry. I won't be back any time soon.

I would definitely consult with a lactation consultant in a hospital. A lot of docs no little to nothing about breastfeeding. Keep doing what you are doing, but get advice from a real expert. When did the doc say you could start breastfeeding all the time again? You should pump and dump your milk in between nursings so that your milk supply won't decrease.

I hope you feel better and get the answers you need. Good for you with nursing and sticking with it.

I do have to comment on Fiddle -Faddle's post. though. I am saddened that some would would make a mom feel bad for NOT BF. there are many reason NOT to BF. I do believe BF is great if it is right for you and your child and do it if you can. I personally did not BF because it wasn't for me and i knew that so to me if I wouldn't be able to handle it then my child was better off being formula feed. I did support any and all of my friends who BF and helped them get past any hurdles when times got rough because that is what friends do. I personally don't think it is fair to talk down formula feeding like you did in your statement. what happens is a new mom was reading that post and was having a hard time BF and was in tears because she couldn't and read what you said and it made it worse? It is a very personal choice and I think ALL mothers should support other mothers in their disicion to do what is best for their families and their children.

I am sure you had no clue you would offend any one with this post and I am very sorry if I took it the wrong way but I just want mothers to support other mothers in how they choose to feed their babies.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
