Cravings it's a common problem when you're pregnant. However, one of the few foods that you need to avoid is peanuts. According to a study conducted by the Mt Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
According to the researchers, pregnant women who frequently consume nuts will give birth to babies who would have peanut allergies. The more you eat beans women in the third trimester of pregnancy, the baby tends to increasingly sensitive to peanuts.
These findings do not prove if eating nuts during pregnancy is a risk factor for peanut allergy in the first year or next. The researchers stressed the need for further studies to answer this question.
"Our study focused on sensitization, not a peanut allergy," says Scott H. Sicherer, leader of the study. "It took several years for us to find out whether these kids really going to develop a peanut allergy problem."
The problem of peanut allergy in children is increased in the last decade. About one in 100 children have peanut allergies. In the worst case condition, it can cause anaphylactic shock, which could potentially fatal incident with conditions throat closes and the person is unable to breathe. Patients also may experience more mild symptoms, like vomiting, diarrhea, or asthma.
Nevertheless, Sicherer reminded that there is not enough information to warn women to avoid eating peanuts during pregnancy. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) itself briefly only recommend that women at high risk should avoid peanuts during pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
In a recently published study, researchers assessed the risk of peanut allergy in 503 infants suspected to also make them allergic to eggs and / or nuts. Assessment based on the results of skin prick tests or the presence of skin rash associated with food allergies. Infants aged 3-15 months have not been diagnosed with peanut allergy. However, blood tests showed that 140 babies have high sensitivity to peanuts.
