What can I eat??

[QS88]

I'm currently 29 weeks and and at a total loss as to what I can eat. Used to have a really good diet before conceiving - around 8 portions of fruit and veg daily, low sugar, lots of good quality meat, lentils etc, but have lost the ability to digest fibre - it gives me awful constipation (which is a thing which can apparently happen) and made me really poorly a few months ago. Not sure I'll ever eat another lentil so long as I live tbh.

I've also developed horrible reflux, so am supposed to cut back on certain meats, dairy, citrus, spicy food etc.

Just had a midwife appointment and bump is now measuring large, so have been told to stay away from sugar / white bread etc in case it's gestational diabetes (have been eating more cake than usual as so little else I can still have!).

So please, please any suggestions for meals / food which excludes too much of any of the following;

Red or fatty meat
Chocolate
Onions
Dairy
Spice
Fibre
Sugar
Tomatoes
Citrus
"White" foods - bread, rice etc
Pregnancy unfriendly foods like fish which may contain mercury

So far on my list I have "chicken and oats".

You can eat fish - limit oily fish to 2 portions and limit tinned tuna to 4 tins a week. Avoid shark, swordfish or marlin. Any other fish is fair game.

I thought dairy helped with reflux.

Potatoes/sweet potato? Why is rice off your list? Swap to wholegrain products?
Drink plenty of water

Suggestions here

I'd eat lots of veg and fish, chicken. Look at vegetarian dishes too, nice salads and soups.

Hi thanks both @Viletta soups are a good idea! Again I can't have too many vegetables but made a good one the other day with proper chicken stock and a bit of butternut squash which didn't upset anything so will definately make more of that.

@dementedpixie I didn't realize you could have that much fish - have stocked up on tinned skipjack tuna which I read is the best mercury wise. As for dairy, cheese and cream is too fatty so makes reflux worse. Milk "increases production of stomach acid" apparently but have revisited natural yogurt at your suggestion and seems to be okay so another item for the list!

Have switched to wholegrain but a but fiberous if I have too much sadly.

If anyone ever stumbles onto this thread I've found that eggs also seem to be acceptable x

You could try smoothies as well and chuck all sorts of healthy stuff in there too, spinach, blueberry, banana and peanut butter, cucumber lime, etc
