After many months of thinking I might need to do this I finally have decided we need to become Dairy and Gluten free. I suspect a lot of Eli's gas, sinus infections, ear infections, loose stool, not wanting to sleep, rapid mood changes, and several other factors are attributed to be allergic to these things. I will have him tested but until that is official we are cutting all dairy and gluten out of his diet.
I really wanted to start completely today but that is going to require a grocery store visit and my car is broke at the moment and Anthony is working. I also will be going on this diet too and that means Anthony will because I am the cook in the house. I guess its more of a life style change. Lilliana is starting to display some of the symptoms of exzema which can be attributed to those things so we are going to see what happens if I switch it out of my diet and she no longer gets it in my breast milk.
When I realized this needed to be done today I wanted to cry. It is going to take some work and honestly, I don't know if I am really up for it. Then I realized I have no choice! I am mom and this is what is best for Eli right now. Hopefully we get it figured out! I will be doing a lot of reading and making all sorts of new recipes. I have also been told that I will drop weight very quick so that is a plus!!! So our journey begins!!!
i would try one at a time. that would be easier on you and it might eliminate the problems... gluten is a HUGE elimination, so it'd be easier to try dairy first.
