I have been searching the web for information on pregnant woman who followed the Brewer diet with gluten free modifications. I just can't seem to find any good blogs were they talk about how they did it. So I decided to say screw it a d write the blog posts I wanted to read. The Brewer diet, for those who don't know is a high protein, lots of nutritional goodness diet for pregnancy that if followed is supposed to prevent preeclampsia and help with healthier overall babies and pregnancies. You can read more a out it here.
The thing is its a Ton of food and even when you have no issues and can eat everything on the lists it's still a lot. I have the added challenge of trying to get it all with no gluten, no nuts, no dairy, no citrus, and limited eggs.
I've decided to keep track of what I'm eating, post some of the better recipes and try to do regular posts on what I'm doing to follow the diet. Hopefully it will serve as motivation to keep it up and maybe help other celiac pregnant women and women with diet restrictions see how some else made it work.

Toodler food
We are one of those households, the allergies list as long as your arm places where everything that comes in needs to be dissected to determine if its safe. We are Gluten-free, Nut-free, Soy-free, Orange-free and have other food issues with eggs, most fruits, and red meat. We also don't do processed foods, preservatives, and are trying to cut all GMO stuff out too. I can't say I miss them but this can make eating a challenge.
C has suddenly upped the amount he wants to eat he is always hungry and so I have found that my old nurse a lot, feed him a little of what ever I'm having method of meal times doesn't work any more. We have moved on to planned toddler meals. I want to make sure that he is getting a balanced diet because even with out all the junk its still possible to be lacking in good stuff. This is the first week of planned munchkin meals, I will be attempting to make him breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and bedtime snack. Ideas for breakfast are pancakes, oatmeal, muffins, smoothies, snacks will be bite sized and a mixture of veggies and protein, lunch will be what ever we are having usually rice based with veggies and dinner will be the same.
My hope is that by making sure his meals are balanced and have variety it will spill over into the meals of the rest of the house, that my husbands lunches will become more rounded and our family meals will too. I'm sure that it will take a while to get in a routine and get used to having a verity of good snacks on hand. So this week I am reading every book on toddler nutrition and breastfeeding a toddler that I can get my hands on and searching Pinterest for fun lunch and snack ideas.
