I only started yesterday..and I am recording what he is eating and making notes of when his rash flares, when he is unsettled, has BM and NW.
The thing is...last night he slept through...he hasn't done that in AGES. I am not sure if it was a 1 off or not.
I also checked out side effects of the antihistamine he is on and they include dryness of mouth (which would explain the NW wanting milk and increased water he is drinking) plus a ton of potential stomach related issues
I wonder if this is making everything worse. So today I am stopping the antihistamine to see if this makes a diff. It isn't preventing the rash anyway!
Here is what he had
3 X BF and 1 X formula. I reintroduced it at his 3pm feed. Water throughout the day
Porridge with pears (water and rolled oats + ripe pear steamed and soft) he has started spitting out lumps though
Marmite and grated cheese sandwich (white bread)
Apple slices (no skin and he really chomped it then spat
)
Mini Apple and muesli muffin
Pumpkin, Sweet Potato and beef casserole (incl small volume of leek, carrot and potato mixed into casserole)
He has started spitting lunps since he has been off, and crying during eating, but wanting more food IYKWIM???
I noticed today he is spilling and gargling a bit more but it is not hurting him, this I suspect is his reflux playing up.
Looking at what he DIDNT eat yesterday and often does are things like.
Milk (in porridge or cooking)
Cream cheese/sour cream/yogurt
Fruit other than pear and apple
Lamb/Chicken/salmon
Other veges ie corn. The amount of carrot and leek he had yesterday would have been tiny ie mixed into casserole of 40 cubes and had 1.
For my diet, I had less sugar and snacks than usual and lots of water/fluids. (still have my coffees - but will stop if I need to!)
The reason I gave him a small amount of grated cheese was because this is one food that I have already tried removing and made no diff, plus he has had it for a long time so I wanted to see how he went, and that arvo he was fine. It was the AM he was unsettled and his rash was flaring more.
No doubt this is a muddled mess sorry!!!! I am finding this all quite overwhelming and I feel sooooo confused, ie yes I think its food/ no I am being silly/ maybe its something else...
