Hello everyone.
I haven't been on here for a ling time so thought I'd introduce my self.
My DS is 12months old, (was 1 yesterday)
He is currently on a dairy, wheat and egg free diet.
Dairy made him really ill. Bad skin, eyes, nose. Bad breathing. Bad tummy and nasty runny, mucus stools. Projectile vomiting.
Wheat gave him a really bad tummy. Up all night with tummy pains and then 10 solid poos the next day.
Egg gave him a terrible rash and made him sick.
After a long fight that there was something wrong, at 11 weeks I put my foot down and got stroppily, he was having 40-45oz of EBM a day and losing weight! I was expressing so much I felt awful and put him on formula 2 feeds a day to try and attend him up a bit. He just got worse! So after my temper tantrums, DS was given SMA LF.
this made a difference but he still want right. A few more fights later he was put on nutramigen 1 and then a few weeks later nutramigen aa, and that made such a difference! A different child!
Weaning was a worrying time, and I put it off until he was 6 months old. Finding out about the egg and gluten at 7/8 months.
Plum and cucumber are the only other foods we've had a problem with, bringing him out in a rash.
We have had a couple of accidents in the last couple of months, where I gave him gluten by mistake, and we were up all night, then following day had lots of hard poos. And he also stole my nephews cheesespread sandwich and he sucked a bit of cheesespread. It was only a tiny bit as we got it off him straight away, yet the whole of one side of his face reacted with bad skin straight away and he got upset and cuddled down for a sleep.
We have our next appointment with the dietitian on Wednesday, and her plan (along with the pead) is to introduce dairy to see what happens.
Now i'm worried that its too soon as we have already had an accident. Am I over reacting? Should I let him have some? I just think his poor little body has been through so much and I don't want to see him in pain or anything.
I have asked them to test him through skin or blood but they won't.
