SPRINGinSTEPWHEAT ALLERGY and MISCARRIAGE: An Italian study of 44 patients with miscarriage history, 39 patients with fetal growth problems, and 50 normal subjects has shown that patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion and those with intrauterine fetal growth retardation had a significantly higher frequency of serological markers of celiac disease than controls. The study's authors also explains that even though only 1 in 1000 people in Europe have some symptomatic gluten-sensitivity, it is now becoming clear that a greater proportion of individuals have a clinically silent form of the disease, and probably many others have a minor form of enteropathy (digestive inflammation and disease).

vitamin B6Vitamin B6 for Pregnancy

by Dr. Pina LoGiudice

Vitamin B6 was first used to help nausea during pregnancy way back in 1942.  With a category A rating (no risk known), it seems to be a safe way to work with difficulty nausea while pregnant. It has been studied in a number of randomized controlled trials for this purpose. Although we do not know the exact mechanism of action, it is known to lower severity of the nausea, although it does not seem to necessarily decrease the vomiting frequency in every study. In my patients with severe nausea, I have found a combination of diet changes, acupressure or acupuncture and ginger to be very helpful in most cases. Vitamin B6 may be another tool to help with this sometimes difficult and uncomfortable condition of pregnancy.

Bluberry Breakfast Pancakes

blueberry buckwheatfrom: www.NourishThis.com

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour

1 tsp. Baking powder

1 tsp. Xantham gum

1 tsp. Salt

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup apple sauce

1 TBS coconut oil

3/4 cup blueberries

Vegetable Spray

 

How To: Use a fork to combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.  In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, applesauce and oil.  Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring only until combined.  Add in blueberries gently stir to combine, being cautious not to crush the berries.  Heat your skillet on medium and coat with vegetable oil spray.  Using an ice cream scoop (usually about the measure of 1/4 to 1/3 cup), spoon batter onto your skillet.  Buckwheat pancakes are generally fairly thin and take less time to cook than other pancakes so watch your skillet carefully.  Flip when you see bubbles on the surface of the batter, usually cooking 1-2 minutes per side.

Serve warm.


Health Commentary: 

Buckwheat is a healthy grain which is high in dietary fiber, manganese and tryptophan (an amino acid that helps mood). Buckwheat does not contain gluten, and is a good substitute for wheat, barley, rye and oats for people with gluten sensitivity, celiac, and other inflammatory bowel diseases. Blueberries are an excellent source of phytonutrients, quercetin and anti-oxidants. Maple syrup contains zinc and manganese, both good for immune system support.
