As a mom who had this happen in her first baby, and headed it off 
quickly in the second, I'll piggyback on Nikki's thoughts.

BTW, I think the white potatoes would be suspect.

My guess is that some moms, like me, who were never breastfed, have very 
leaky guts.  And while I never had allergies, my dh does, so they get 
the allergies from him, and the allergens from me.

This mom really needs to drop to a four foods diet.  Whatever meat, 
grain, fruit and veggie she *rarely* eats--in her severe case, maybe 
things she never ate while pregnant.  Millet, turkey or lamb, greens or 
zucchini, pears usually works.  No spices, no vitamin pills.  Three 
weeks. The upside is that her preg weight will fall off :P

She can make her life easier by roasting a turkey, cooking the millet in 
the drippings, cooking a big pot of greens or baking zucchini in the 
same pan as the turkey, stocking up on canned pears. This way all she 
has to do is go to the fridge and pull it out.

My best to her.  It is hard, but it gets easier.  Once the gut heals up, 
avoiding the major allergens may be enough.  Things get much more normal 
for me at a year postpartum.
