Great to read these updates Tari. I was thinking of you the other day and meant to come and check on you, but forgot...
Anyway, sounds like you're making good progress. And well done Gwyneth on the weight gain! Wow!!

Thanks ladies.

Quick update.  Gwyneth had a couple of specks of bright red blood in her stool on Thursday.   :'( :'(  I was so shocked, and devasted.  It really baffles me, we haven't seen blood in her diaper for months, my poor bub.  That was day 6, almost a full week since starting the avocado.  I spoke to the GI and we have stopped the avocado for the last 5 days.  She also suggested taking it out of my diet.  I did it for one day and lost a couple of pounds and my supply took a huge dip.  So I have cut back on them, but I can't cut them out, I'll not be able to keep up my supply - so far so good.

We did give her some pears today (and she just LOVED them - it's so sad, she's just dying for solids, she moves her mouth like she's eating when we eat and tries to grab our food).  Anyway - we have the allergist appointment on 3/5.  I was very very down for a couple of days, I just feel like she is truly the sweetest, happiest baby and it just sucks that she has to go through this.  It's just so confusing.  I SO don't want her to have to any invasive testing, but it may have to be done.  We'll see.

More to come...thanks for listening.

Sorry to hear about the Avocado, though I'm glad she loves the pear!  Hopefully you'll get more answers at your allergist appointment.  Poor girl, I hope she doesn't have to go through invasive testing.  This must be trying for you, very strong mom! :)  **HUGS**

Thanks ladies.   :-*  Feeling much better, took her a couple of days to return to normal, but she's doing great.  We are still doing the pears (today is day 5) and so far so good, although she had a couple of mucousy stools.  So we'll see......I feel optimistic!   :D

Just wanted to update that Wheat is a pass!  wooohooo!!  I have been on wheat for almost 2 weeks and she has done great with it!  Here is what is crazy though - I don't think I'm tolerating it well.   ::)  I started getting headaches and nausea and didn't know what was going on - but it's corresponded directly w/the wheat.  And I so love it - I've just been having organic shredded wheat and it's been great - but physically I feel off.  So I'm cutting it back out of my diet - but keeping it in G's.  I'm starting eggs in the next couple of days, we'll see how it goes - but for now - so happy about Wheat.  wooohooo! 

I might be able to make her a 1st b-day cake after all!!

Tari-  have you tried sourdough? The souring process breaks down some of the proteins and makes the wheat easier to digest. I can buy dairy and soy free organic sourdough wholewheat bread - sounds awful but it's actually quite nice!

Hi Lan.  No I haven't tried sourdough yet - and the dairy/soy free souordough wholewheat sounds AWESOME to me actually.  I'll have to check it out, thank you!  I need to trial yeat first though - since Gwyneth has a pretty significant corn allergy I believe most yeast is derived from corn?  but can sometimes not be a problem. 

THanks for the tip!

Well the sourdough is a wild yeast culture - so no bakers' yeast. I believe there are all sorts of different strains of sourdough cultures too - sometimes even passed down through generations! So this one is Ok for both of us and we're sticking to it!
