Q&A: PUPPS
Question
“Hello! I am 14 weeks pregnant and have already listened to all of your podcasts! I appreciate the research-based information. I have developed PUPPS all over my belly and legs and the itch is so intense. My doctor just prescribed oral Benadryl but I do not want to take anything and anyway I feel that will only treat the symptoms and not the cause. From what I have been able to read about, no one really knows what causes PUPPS. I am trying probiotics and just bought some dandelion tea but would appreciate your input on this subject, as it seems like there is no conclusive information out there.” – Kelly
