Ehhh, for some kids maybe.
I hate to think about the number of pb&j sandwhiches I ate while pregnant with DS1 - wheat allergy.
Though having said that, I avoided peanuts at all cost with DS2 and that is what he shows up positive to (not sure if he is allergic or not but his immune system went out of whack at the age of 2 - so maybe he doesn't count??)
Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I craved PB for my 1st DS and ate it like crazy... he's allergic to peanuts. I craved ice cream for my 2nd DS and ate it like crazy... he's allergic to milk! :-/
I ate EVERYTHING and I ate GREAT quantities of everything. They need to talk to me for their study.
Ahem. They clearly didn't bother interviewing me.
Exactly.
I guess that three-times-a-week Baby Ruth probably wasn't helpful re: peanut allergy, since that is the anaphylaxis trigger that started us out on this journey with something of a bang. Well, band AND a whimper, actually. The whimpering was mostly parents wanting it all to just go away. {sigh}
And that avoiding milk (since I still don't tolerate it WELL, exactly) didn't matter that much... since that one has been the most plastic of DD's allergies... oh, and wheat, well-- yeah definitely didn't avoid, and DD was still definitely allergic.
:-/
News to me and my peanut, milk and wheat allergic children.
All I wanted when I was pregnant with DS were cheesesteaks and milkshakes. He's allergic to milk but outgrew beef...

Uhhh, no because we skew studies like this in a bad way :evil:
;D
Yeah they didn't talk to me either! ~)
It mentions the first trimester. I did not eat much of anything the first trimester, but later in my second and 3rd was when I ate loads of eggs and PBJ and fluffanutter sandwiches, not together. ;) Dd has PA and EA.
So, they didn't talk to me either.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24508911 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24508911) just adding another study, different one btw.
I was studying for my boards and pretty much managed to stay awake with constant hand-to-mouth from a jar a peanuts, while pregnant with PA dd. In fact, she had pretty bad eczema within a few days of being born, even if her PA wasn't discovered until 13 months.
I wonder if there is such a thing as in utero FAs.
AFAIK, the first exposure to peanuts that DD had was at 11mo. Seriously-- we didn't even keep them in the house, really. I ate candy bars at work. I remember having to BUY the peanut butter.
About 90 seconds after ingesting ~100mg, she was in full-blown anaphylaxis. So. :-/
Well, my kids are screwed. ;)
Mac, maybe not active FA's, as I'd assume the fetal immune system would be dampened. But dd's eczema was bad almost immediately, and she was exclusively breastfed with the same diet I'd had before I delivered her. I'm guessing the allergies (or allergic potentials) were there, just needing to be activated, YKWIM?
Yes, that is my guess, too, Aggie.
DD had eczema patches pretty much from birth.
I'm pretty sure DS1's allergies were in utero. Eczema within days of birth, low birth weight for full term baby (and I know everyone says "oh but you are tiny" but I have a family history of 9lb babies within my family and DH's), problems gaining weight while breastfeeding. First ana event at 6mo to small amounts of barley in a jarred food. Poor little bugger.

That brings back memories.
PA dd was a fatso. She looked like a toad - you had to go digging for her neck. LOL So definitely no in utero growth issues! But yes, eczema pretty much from the get go.
Sounds like DS2. He birthed with a *thud*.
