Hello,
I have permission to post.
This is from moms e mail to me--
"We are having a horrible problem with him being allergic to everything I
eat. His symptoms are eczema; green, watery diarrhea (3 - 8 per day);
colic; mucous in the stools, and occasionally, blood. The other 3 children
I have were also allergic to dairy, so I avoided that all through pregnancy.
I am now on the Total Elimination Diet from Dr. Sears. However, I can't
even eat all of those "allowed foods" without reactions. I have been eating
only 4 foods for 13 weeks now (turkey, brown rice, yellow squash, and sweet
potatoes).
Do you know of anyone who has dealt with this before? It seems to be
getting worse instead of better. I'd also like to see a dietician who can
possibly help me. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions? We do
have an appointment with a pediatric allergist, at the end of the month.
But I'm leaving no stone unturned in my desperate search for help."
I have worked with this mom when she had her last 2 babies, she is very
dedicated... She has truly only been eating those 4 foods for 13 weeks, she
is very dedicated....
She does not want to stop breastfeeding. I spoke with her a long time today,
baby is gaining beautifully, but he is cranky, mom says she can hear his
tummy making all kinds of noises, she did have a yeast infection in her
first trimester of pregnancy, none since.
What insights can you share with me, I have never work with a mom whose baby
is SO allergic.
Thanks so much in advance, Cindy
