the only thing different to pre-preg is the blackmores ms tabs - which are ginger and vit b6
i'm thinking more the cheese is adding to the imbalance as it's more dairy than my body is used to (hope that makes sense)
normally, i might have a small serve of cheese once a week and only milk in my cuppa. it's something i don't have a lot of cos i have IBS which dairy messes with
come to think of it, my belly is a bit ick at the moment too (but i've been blaming Gremlin - poor little tacker!). just asked DH to get me some grapes as well as bananas, plus the fruit we have here, hopefully it will be enough...
...forgot to say that if it's thrush (a yeast outbreak) then garlic (if you can stomach that) would help.
Make sure you get enough calcium though... oranges are a good source...as well as sardines (if you can stomach them)... from what you are saying you might be getting low on calcium which hasn't got anything to do with your white tongue issue but will affect you in other ways... you might find that you start getting leg cramps for example... now THAT's something you really dont want believe me!!! A very common thing in pregnancy.
Bath - i'm an oddity in human form - i actually got told a couple of years ago to reduce as much calcium intake as possible (within reason of course) as i have calcified lymph nodes in my stomach and underarms - i also had a bone chip lodge in the muscle at the front of my ankle and it grew into a full blown bone that had to be removed... so calcium wise, i've generally on the safe side! my body obviously processed what i have taken in really well! i won't cut it out all together, but will cut back and see if it makes a difference....
am a no go on oranges (trigger migraines - except blood oranges which i can't get locally - so am growing them myself), sardines are a definite no go - and garlic isn't the best at the moment either...
There are lozenges you can get for oral thrush if it's that. I'm not sure if they are safe during pg though. You might need to ask a doctor or pharmacist. I hope it gets better soon for you.
Hi BG I had oral thrush in the first trimester, (I am prone to thrush). I used probiotics and and an oral antithrush treatment and this cleared it up well. I tried nilstat first but couldn't tolerate the taste while I had morning sickness, I changed to daktarin oral gel and that was much better. These are available over the counter, I checked with two pharmacists before I took either to check their safety during pregnancy and they are fine. I breathe through my mouth a lot and this seems to make it worse especially if I have a cold
