I remember reading that niacin and I'm pretty sure niacinamide as well shouldn't be taken while nursing because a high enough portion of it makes it into the breastmilk giving the baby too high a dose for their size and can cause heart problems. That's why I want to look up all the Bs before I take any. You're right about BFing and antifungals. I think mostly because the die off dumps a lot of mercury and other stuff into the system thus increasing the amount in circulation which would also increase the amounts in breastmilk. So, I should probably taper off the carbs instead of trying to abruptly stop. When I was dropping my carbs below 15g per meal using peas, carrots, and nuts as my source of carbohydrate, the pain stopped, but my energy levels dropped really low and I got even thinner. The amount that is in the non-starchy veggies and nuts just doesn't seem to be enough for me to function. I could try again though and have a stash of them ready to go, and eat them several times a day instead of the 5x I was doing. Maybe that would keep a steady stream of carbs going.
Jeannie, I have LOVED breastfeeding and am mourning having to wean her. I was planning on letting her self-wean, but my health issues won't wait for that I don't think. Ever since my menstrual cycle came back, I've felt terrible. There's just something about estrogen that makes me feel bad. Many women have PMS; I have POS (pre-ovulation syndrome). I actually feel my best after I ovulate. I think estrogen encourages inflammation. So, I've decided I need to encourage her to stop nursing, so I'm tapering her off slowly over the next 3months or so. Well, that's the plan anyway.
