Aw shoot, no lists. The info is in the whole book. I remember coffee is a common trigger. (Flipping through.) Fruits are good. Soda crackers are good. Plants are iffy. Garlic is bad. Dog food very bad (to smell or be around, not eat.) Mildew bad. Scented products (shampoo) can be bad. Smelly fridge bad -- put baking soda in it. Cereal, rice, milk, noodles, yogurt good.
Quote:A first trimester woman should plan pland meals of very fresh familiar foods and postpone experimenting with new or exotic recipes until the second trimester. She should not try to force down foods that nauseate her... If a first-trimester woman has an aversion to a particular food, she shouldn't eat it (unless the food is bland and her pregnancy sickness so extreme that she has aversions to all foods). Her body usually knows best.
A food's temperature can have a large effect on a first-trimester woman's ability to tolerate it. Heating food vaporizes some of its toxins, which can then be smelled and absorbed into the bloodstream by the lungs. By contrast, cooling a food to temperatures just above freezing significantly suppresses its odor.
Oh here are lists -- they're actually sections with long explanations but I can take just the headers.
Each grouping ranked from best to worst:
Foods and beverages derived from plants:
Fruit (best)
Candy (mostly fine if non-nutritious, chocolate iffy)
Nuts
Vegetable oils
Vegetables ("After a lifetime of hearing 'eat your vegetables,' it may seem odd to be told, 'Be wary of eating vegetables.")
Spices and herbs (we're in the "worst" section now, bad news)
Mushrooms
Condiments (mustard, horseradish, etc.)
Coffee, tea, caffeinated beverages
Any food that smells of mold
Alcohol
Foods and beverages derived from animals
Dairy products (good good good, except cheese)
Meat and poultry (fine, needs to be FRESH)
Eggs (iffy, unless VERY fresh)
Fish (nuh-uh)
Food colorings, sweeteners, and other additives
Basically, not sure, but err on the side of caution.
Oh and now I find proper lists at the end of the chapter. Darn it. Will go ahead and reproduce as they look useful.
