I've been thinking off and on the last week or so about my following the IBS diet and nursing my nine month old son. It seems that most of my extra flab that I gained during my first pregnancy and my last is now gone....except for the tummy! However, since I've cut out soda and dairy, even my tummy is not so bloated. So, if I'm keeping up my fruit and veggie intake, eating fish and chicken, and drinking soy milk, is there any need to "worry" that I'm depriving myself of nutrients? It's obvious to me that my son is getting plenty of nutrients and fat from my breastmilk because he's gaining weight as he should and our bodies provide first for our babies then mamas get the "leftovers"....hmmm sounds normal. Is there anything else I should be doing? Caloric intake seems to be my concern. Thoughts?
