Hey Girls,
glad to hear that K is still doing well on the sals! Keep it up I say! Theres little time to waste, as you say he'll be 1 soon!
So I just got back from a weeks beach holiday today adn pleased to report that Kai is tolerating eggs now!! I thought that it would be successful so wasn't too worried about doing a food trial once on holidays.
I am persisted with all the supplements - he is taking
Glycine 1.5 teaspoons for immune system support
Activated Vitamin B6 (1/2 cap) and 2 drops of zinc - to help him detoxify his liver and get ready for the sals
1/4 teaspoon probiotic - gut healing and growth of good bacteria for digestion
Transfer factor ( a constitute of colustrum) - 3 caps daily for immune system support
Even if they are doing nothing for him I feel that I have done everything I can before I put him on sals, and it will allow me to approach it full steam ahead, starting one teaspoon a day after one more week.
Another pleasing thing is that I accentially ate half a white bread roll and drum roll.... no reactions!!! We don't have much time for the wheat challenge, as the salicylates will take us through for the next 5 weeks at least... oh well. I am happy he is getting enoguh grains and things though, the wheat can wait.
K's Nw'ing have been horrendous, we had 3 weeks of hard core teething with the top two teeth and he decided to NW for 2 hours every night for about 3 weeks
Then he stopped teething and is still doing it every few nights, ugh! Having said that he has been boobed to sleep since teething so DH and I are sleep training this week and we'll see wyhat happens to the NW'ing.
Kirry: if you are doing 5 teaspoons of sals, you have wheat and eggs, it sounds as though K has a pretty rounded diet now, its just the dairy/soy that you are missing right?
On the milk issue at 12 months what did you ladies decide???
Both my dietician and naturopath have recommended a dairy challenge when K is 11 months to see if he can tolerate, otherwise I will be putting him on Elecare amino acid based formula. I won't do soy due to the bad press.
Clare: what did you do with milk past 12 months?
Is Olly sttn yet? Hows his NWing
DOes he sleep independently??
