Questions FET Miscarriage Safe Foods

[leesha]

Just wondering why lentils would cause a miscarriage? I made lots of veggie soup with that soup mix in it ( all the lentils and stuff you have to soak for awhile first) all three of my pregnancies were fine! Just curious that's all...I would of thought that it would be more those foods that can cause listeria that can cause miscarriages!!
Sorry for your loss :-( xx

I know it's hard not to link these events together, especially when you've previously lost a pg due to food poisoning, but I find it hard to believe the soup was the cause.

I went a bit... okay, COMPLETELY overboard paranoid about food safety when I was pg with DD. It was either that or spend an hour crying after every meal in case I'd eaten the wrong thing. Normal food safety rules apply (basic hygiene and cleanliness) and then you have the additional recommendations related to "high risk" foods for listeria and mercury (fish).

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope this is the last time you have to endure this pain.

First of all, huge to you hun, I am so sorry that you are having to go through this heartbreak yet again.

I don't know much about foods that can cause miscarriage but when you said that you survive on toast, it did get me wondering. Have you ever been tested for coeliac disease? It is a much underestimated cause of miscarriages and even if you don't feel that you necessarily have any symptoms, doesn't mean that it isn't a possibility. I was diagnosed about two years ago with blood tests and gut biopsy and the possibility had never, ever occurred to me. Sure, I did get a lot of tiredness, bloating etc (plus I had two natural miscarriages and repeated implantation failure) but it seemed so non-specific that I never suspected coeliac.

Just a thought that it may pay for you to get tested? In the meantime though, if you do think that pursuing this may be worth a shot, don't go off any breads or other gluten-containing products as the tests need for you to be eating gluten at the time to evaluate any sort of sensitivity.

Good luck chick, hoping that you can get to the bottom of things and have a healthy bubba in your arms before long.
