Suggest Treatment For Rashes After Eating Certain Food During Pregnancy

MY QUESTION IS I AM 4 1/2 MONTHS (19 WEEKS) PREGNANT AND AS A CHILD HAD ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO MILK, TOMATOS, BEEF, EGGS, AND SEVERAL OTHER FOODS. NEVER TO THE POINT OF UNABLE TO BREATHE BUT IF I COMBINED MORE THAN ONE OF MY ALLERGIES THEN MY BODY WOULD BE COVERED IN RED WELTS AND ITCH. SINCE BECOMING PREGNANT I AM GETTING THESE LITTLE RED BUMPS THAT ITCH WHEN I EAT THOSE FOODS AGAIN... IS THIS COMMON? CAN I TAKE BENADRYL? IS MY BABY HAVING A REACTION? DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE REST OF MY PREGNANCY I CANNOT EAT THESE MAIN DISHES THAT ARE A MAJOR PART OF MY DIET? PLEASE HELP! THANKS!

Hi,
Minor allergic reactions to food won't affect your foetus.
If you have allergic history to certain certain foods then the best way to cure is the avoidance of their contact.
If you have any allergic symptoms right now then you must consult your gynecologist for a safer medicine to combat this allergy.
You may also see dermatologist for proper diagnosis of this symptoms if there are due to allergy or something else.
However benadryl antihistamines is a safer in pregnancy.
If you have allergic history to all this foods then as I said you must avoid them to stay away from reactions.
You can ask your gynecologist for alternative foods during pregnancy.
Thanks.
