Food allergy, coeliac disease and restricted diets

Pregnancy is not a reason to reintroduce a medically necessary excluded food or begin a broad elimination diet without support.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Ask for a tailored nutrition plan when allergies, coeliac disease, an eating disorder or severe food aversion narrows what you can eat.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
