<br />
I have just started making kefir - couldn't stomach the first batch so I used it to soak garbanzos, which turned out really well! I used a lot more milk for the second batch and now I am having it in a smoothie; it seems okay. My smoothies are sort of random, but they usually have kale and parsley as the green base because it grows reliably here in the summer and then freezes well all winter. "vegan plus meat :)"

There is coconut milk yogurt, hemp milk yogurt, almond milk yogurt, raw goat's milk yogurt (iffy), rice-milk yogurt.<br />

Your comments about cellulose and raw greens are potential issues for some, I do believe. But, mostly, once one develops a 'leaky gut', basically infiltrated by candida drilling holes into it, then the proteins are leaking into our blood stream, especially when our detox pathways are overloaded with excess mercury, it becomes an issue.<br />
<br />
Bubbies sauerkraut and adequate stomach acid are key to effective digestion, imo. Along with enzymes, which are a whole 'nuther deficiency issue. But, supplementing has its own issues.<br />
<br />
Dairy is a large protein which is more difficult to digest, commonly causes allergies and food intolerances, most common culprit. So, while pregnant, *I* would avoid exposing unborn child to the most common allergen with a leaky gut. Didn't, wish I had! The more exposures baby gets to food intolerances in utero, the more common colic, food intolerances develop, per our surveys at MDC. The alternate animal milks are less likely to be issues, due to less "intolerance" developed in the mama (due to less prior exposure).<br />
<br />
Basically, the mama's food reactions impact baby, before and after birth. More intolerances = more to detox. With a load of mercury (candida is the evidence with the tooth exposure), I wouldn't want to tip the scales in that direction. Especially, when we live fine without dairy. :-) There are plenty of alternatives for calcium and protein.<br />
<br />
However, I do raw milk kefir, in small quantities, most every day. And do believe it is beneficial for pregnant mamas, unless IgE to dairy protein, of course.<br />
<br />
Also, is the raw dairy 100% grass-fed? And is it Guernsey cows (A2 casein)? Or, I'd consider raw goat's milk (A2 casein). Breastmilk is A2 casein.<br />

I am trying cooking my eggs in CO and using pesto but no cheese as the filling, perhaps I will limit my CO intake to this for a while and see how I feel.<br />

My concern is more with the feeding of my family than of getting what I need.

John was vegan for a long time, and I really do know that the conventional wisdom about where protein and calcium come from is mistaken - we were able to eat quite well. In fact, in some ways maybe that would be easier, because I could be vegan plus meat :) but no dairy! I have switched my midnight snack from yogurt to eggs, I do feel a little better already (still not sleeping after I wake up in the middle of the night, though).<br />
<br />
Also, I like dairy. I am curious as to what the thinking against raw dairy is? Pasteurized, I get, but raw cow, yak, water buffalo, sheep and goat milk are staples of many traditional diets, as long as the digestive enzymes are there I am not sure what the concern is. Is it just that it can be an irritant to some folks? Certainly, just because something is in a traditional diet doesn't mean it's good, but milk seems just like meat to me. Really, we aren't well-adapted to break down cellulose either, but we still eat raw greens.<br />

Coconut oil is caprylic acid, which is a medium chain fatty acid which kills candida in the gut. "Too much" is an issue, when we have excess stored mercury.<br />

<br />
Are you concerned about calcium or protein?<br />
<br />
Bone broths, greens, beans have calcium. Also, herbal infusions such as Nettles, Chickweed.<br />
<br />
Also green smoothies have complete amino acids to make protein, if you vary the greens. Nuts, beans, legumes, meats, eggs, quinoa, amaranth all are protein sources.<br />
<br />
I make up a dried fruit, berries, nuts, seeds, coconut 'granola', which I carry with me everywhere for quick protein.<br />

I don't avoid coriander. Although, we rarely use it. I believe, not certain, I read that coriander is ok. Doesn't make sense to me, though.<br />
<br />
Personally, I don't believe that cow's milk is meant for human consumption. :-) I only use cultured dairy, in small doses for the probiotic benefit.

I believe that nourishing my body is my priority, and trust my body to balance itself, without attacking my body. However, that includes natural antifungals, antibacterial and antimicrobial spices in "normal" amounts in my food preparation. I use spices without fear. Just skip cilantro due to my fillings.<br />
<br />
I'd stop all dairy and be sure to eat some Bubbies sauerkraut 2-3 times per day. Here is a thread about <b>preventing allergies in pregnancy</b>: <a href="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=471144">http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=471144</a><br />

Basically, colicy baby is generally due to food intolerances in your gut/body. Dairy (soy) and gluten (and corn) are the Big Four. I'd avoid them during pregnancy, if I knew then, what I know now. It is much easier to start now, then trying to figure out a whole new diet post-partum with a colicy baby and sleep deprivation, trust me.<br />

Thanks. Yeah, filling removal and chelation are way out of the picture for the next several years, just curious. I just want to feel good, you know? And I don't want another colicky baby, if it can be helped. I have modified my diet considerably, and I am not afraid to continue to modify it, I just want to move in a productive direction.<br />
<br />
Is it okay to fight the candida with diet, if not with a cleanse, or will that combat the mercury negation? Do you avoid coriander seed as well?
