| ABs & Pregnancy Low level of the enzyme “intestinal alkaline phosphate” causes ABs difficulty metabolizing a combo of fat & protein. They also do not have enough stomach acid to digest too much animal protein. Minimize meat for protein, and eat only 3-4oz at a time.
Avoid Chicken and choose Turkey over Beef or Pork.
“Type AB’s rather unique immune defenses can hyper function, leading to allergies, inflammation, chronic fatigue, and a number of other autoimmune disorders that can sap your vitality and interfere with the ability to conceive. These disorders can also create problems during pregnancy.”
Eggs & Dairy are beneficial and easily digested for pregnant ABs. If you have respiratory problems, sinus attacks, or ear infections cut back on dairy foods.
Cottage cheese, chicken egg, mozzarella, low-fat sour cream and yogurt are highly beneficial.
Oils and Fats Limit flaxseed oil during pregnancy. The most benefited for the ABs are Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Walnut oil, but Almond, Canola, Cod liver, Peanut and soy oil are ok.
Nuts and seeds- eat in small amounts and with caution. They are a great supplementary protein source but many seeds contain lectins that induce immune reactions, making them a problem for ABs. Peanuts are a good immunity booster. Peanuts, Peanut butter and Walnuts are the best choice, but Almonds, Almond butter, Cashew, flaxseed, Macadamia, Pecan, and Pistachio are all ok.
Grains, Pastas, and Cereals – ABs do good on grains, but need to limit wheat especially if mucus caused by asthma or frequent infections. Oatmeal, rice and soy granules are good sources but avoid Buckwheat and corn. Rye, Rice, Oat, and Soy based breads are a benefit.
Vegetables- Minimize Fennel and parsley because they stimulate the uterus. Garlic and Onion may cause colic for breastfeeding babies. Of the most benefit are; broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, kale, sweet potato and yams. Also ok are cabbage, carrot, lettuce, okra, green olive, onion, pea, potato, pumpkin, sauerkraut, string bean, tomato, zucchini.
Fruit- emphasize the more alkaline fruits like grapes, plums and berries. No Oranges (stomach irritant), they interfere with mineral absorption. Lemons aid digestion and clear mucus from the system. Drink a 6oz glass of room temperature water with ¼ to ½ lemon juiced every morning upon waking up. Banana lectin interferes with digestion. Its better to substitue other high-potassium fruits like apricots, figs, and some melons. The most benefit comes from Cherry, Cranberry, Fig (fresh/dry), grape, grapefruit, kiwi, lemon, pineapple, plum and watermelon. Also ok are Apple, Apricot, Asian pear, blackberry, blueberry, cantaloupe, honeydew, kumquat, lime, nectarine, peach, pear, pineapple juice, raisin, raspberry, strawberry, and tangerine.
Many spices are helpfull in pregnancy, but others stimulate the uterus and can cause harm, especially in high risk pregnancies or have a history of miscarriage. Ginger works well for digestive ailments, but can cause a miscarriage in excessive amounts. Also avoid cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme. Chocolate should also be avoided, and sugar should be limited. Strong spices should be eliminated to elimininate heartburn, nausea or morning sickness. Garlic is a benefit. Also ok is peppermind, rice syrup, rosemary, sage, sea salt, soy sauce, spearmint, stevia, sugar, thyme. Condiments- avoid anything pickled (causes stomach cancer in ABs). Ketchup has binegar and worcestershire corn syrup and both should be avoided. Ok are Jam & Jelly from acceptable fruits. Mayonnaise, Mustard and salad dressing. Herbal Teas- deliver strong doses of herbs, so are notadvised for pregnancy. Late in pregnancy Raspberry Leaf tea nourishes the uterus with vitamins. Rose hip tea has a lot of vitamin C. Slippery elm tea helps intestinal problems. Of great benefit are alfalfa, burdock, chamomile, echinaccea, hawthorn, rose hip and strawberry leaf. Also ok are pepermint, sarsaparilla, and spearmint. Elminate caffeine and alcohol 3-6 months prior to pregnancy. Highly beneficial is green tea and seltzer water is ok. Do not consume green tea in pregnancy.
