Reply To: Gestational Diabetes and Allergy Substitutions

[Ryann Kipping, MPH, RDN, LDN]

Hi Shelby! So, I can’t provide individualized guidance here, i.e. I don’t know if your swaps are suitable for you and your typical intake without doing a full assessment. Be sure to go through a few notes here, the gestational diabetes note, the dairy-free note, the almond milk note, and depending on your other food allergies those as well, nut-free, etc. Oh, and also the carbohydrates note if you haven’t looked at that one. Dairy-free swaps are obviously a must for you, but you will need to make up the nutrients dairy provides elsewhere which makes me also add to check out the iodine note which dairy is a major source of.
