>>Karen Clements writes: Hi Ellen, this is my gut (Pardon the pun ;-) ) feeling about this baby: I am wondering if anyone has investigated this baby for allergies? Has the mother tried an elimination diet at all? You do not mention if anyone has eliminated this as a cause of the food aversion... Allergic babies also appear to have 'itchy palates' and may bunch up their tongue to relieve it.>>> Yes, I have discussed allergies with mom, early on and again more recently. Mom made some attempts during the early months to omit dairy, but she is a vegetarian and found this quite hard. Hopefully she will try again and will try other possible allergens. How interesting about the itchy palate. Thank you for the response and I will let you know what happens.
