Siberian Pine Nut Oil

[Nikita Munro]

Dear Dr Hale

I am currently still nursing my two and a half year old baby girl.

I suffer with stomach ulcer pain and have been taking Peploc 20 mg daily for some time now. But I would like to stop and instead take something called " The Other Option". It is pure Siberian Pine Nut Oil.
If you Google it, their website says that you can give it directly to babies in small amounts, as long as they have no nut allergy, which my baby doesn't have.

Would it be safe for me to nurse and take this product?

Below is the nutritional info on it.

Peploc contains ranitidine. 20 mg daily for this is practically worthless, as the normal dose is 150 mg two to three times daily.

From you description above, siberian pine nut oil contains fatty acids, but I'm sure there are many other compounds present.

So, I can't really tell you Cold Pressed Siberian Pine Nut Oil is safe to use while breastfeeding. There are too many unanswered questions here.

I'd stick with Ranitidine or famotidine (Pepcid) and increase the dose if you need it.
