LO was diagnosed with MSPI at 4 weeks and I began an elimination diet immediately (LO is EBF). At 6MO, we re-introduced soy, she was tested and given the all clear, but I really don't eat that much soy anymore anyway (now that I know more about it!)
So now all that remains is dairy - LO is now 11MO. I have NO IDEA how to re-introduce dairy and upon googling, found 300,000 different methods/theories. So, I'm a little overwhelmed/discouraged here because I have no idea where to start (and Dr. not much help). Can someone with a similar situation explain how to go about re-introducing dairy? Do I start with just my diet? Or do I start with giving her table foods with milk cooked in them, then progress to foods that are actually dairy, etc, etc?
And most importantly... because our MSPI was only discovered because LO had blood in her stool which prompted the test indicating the irritation/reaction to dairy had already "eaten" up her insides, I'm a little worried that there might be a reaction to dairy again that I won't notice until it's too late (again). How do you not confuse it for general fussiness or teething pain, etc, etc? LO is inexplicably fussy from time to time and has ZERO teeth, so teething is imminent.
Planning ahead for weaning and re-introducing dairy slowly over the next 4-6 weeks and just hoping to get a "plan" in place!
TIA!
