From my experience, my two kids had really bad eczema, and eliminating foods from my diet greatly improved their skin. With LO1 he showed less symptoms (bad eczema and occasional streaky blood), and I only eliminated dairy, egg, and wheat. He ended up being allergic to dairy, eggs, and peanuts. With LO2 he showed more symptoms (eczema, reoccurring bloody stool, mucousy green stool, and excessive spit up), and he is allergic to 8+ foods. I breastfed LO2 for 18 months and was on my diet for most of that time. I really hoped that I was crazy for eliminating so many foods, but an allergy test at 10 months old confirmed my suspicions. :( While I am finally free to eat to my heart's content, I continue to cook allergen free for my kids. It's difficult, but there are a lot of products and resources out there that make it a little easier.</p> <p>Some great companies to look out for -- So Delicious (coconut products), Enjoy Life (cookies free of the top 8), Daiya or Teese (vegan cheese), select Kind bars, and Earth Balance (vegan butter - look for the red container/box for soy free). </p> <p>Some snack ideas - chia seed pudding (chia + can coconut milk), rice cake with sun butter, roasted chickpeas (oh she glows has a great recipe), homemade granola (gf oats, honey, pumpkin puree, chocolate chips, raisins), coconut yogurt, hummus without tahini (check Trader Joe's)</p> <p>Some sweets -- Enjoy Life chocolate chips, Enjoy Life cookies, So Delicious coconut ice cream, So Delicious ice cream bars, banana swirl (frozen bananas mixed in a food processor or blender, add cocoa powder or sun butter), sorbets, water ice</p> <p>Some good replacements - brown rice noodles, sun butter, arrowroot powder (in place of corn starch), flax + water (egg replacer), Food for Life gf bread (much harder than normal bread but it works), Daiya and Teese cheese, Earth Balance butter and mayo, coconut aminos (tastes like soy sauce but less salty)</p> <p>Make sure to check your vitamins and supplements. I've found that a lot of them have soy, but it takes a bit of investigating to find out. Rainbow Light does a great job of listing allergens. </p> <p>Chipotle is one of the few places you can eat at. Just make sure to let them know you have a food allergy (easier than explaining elimination diet) and request for them to change their gloves. Watch them carefully, especially around the cheese. Whole Food is also another good option because ingredients are listed in their hot food bar. </p> <p>I do agree with others that an elimination diet might be too drastic of a step just for eczema. Maybe just try to avoid dairy and soy at first to see if there is an improvement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2204268 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 14:53:50 +0000 raintreebee 2204268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: Our allergist said that eczema is most commonly not food related. The fact that my son had it all over did not change that. I was off dairy, eggs, soy, and nuts. After a month, I added back in eggs and nuts. I then started eating dairy and soy a few months later. I don't think the eczema ever got any better with the diet.</p> <p>Before the diet, they had me try alimentum formula as an experiment while pumping. He wouldn't drink it, and my supply permanently crashed. Next time, I am going to just ignore it all unless there is blood in the stool (his stool was just green, no blood). We spent so much time at specialists, and so much worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203838 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:48:09 +0000 anbanan15 2203838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: I did a TED (total elimination diet) with both of my kids, where you go down to a few foods from key food groups and slowly add foods in one at a time noting any symptoms in your LO. With my son I went from 3 to 15 foods over a year and with my daughter I was not able to add any foods in and ate the same 3 foods for almost a year. Your restrictions can be done, but you have to commit to it and get creative. I would also encourage you take make sure you are getting all the common and hidden sources of the foods are are trying to avoid. The hidden ones can be tricky (food allergy network has a good list that lists all the hidden ones for the top 8). When you grocery shop try to stick to the parameter of the store and avoid prepared foods when you can. If you do go after prepared foods try to stick to as few ingredients listed as possible and check labels everytime you shop because they may change ingredients without notice. I would try to stick to cooking whole foods. I ate a TON of quinoa daily with whatever veggies and fruits my son could tolerate cooked in there with it. Lots of olive oil to keep fats up for milk production (shots of olive oil are amazing. Sounds gross but totally works). Try things like like using sunflower seed butter for snacks to help keep fats up and make snacks more filling. Coconut aminos (fermented coconut, only ingredient) is a great alternative to soy sauce and flavoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203789 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:18:26 +0000 Anagram 2203789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: My doctor suggested I eliminate foods one at a time--but starting with dairy and soy together, since that is the most common intolerance for babies. She said there's no point in eliminating everything if one or two might do the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203711 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:29:34 +0000 catlady 2203711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: Yes, definitely try to get a second opinion or at least try to find out your doctor's logic. The main reason I caution you is because I did the exact same thing (but on my own, stupidly) where I took out a ton of foods at once with the hopes of adding them back in quickly. However, when my LO's issues didn't fully get resolved, our pediatrician basically made me stay on the full elimination diet until my LO outgrew her sensitivities because she thought if I added anything back in, it would make things worse (I've never really understood the logic but I was emotional at the time and willing to do it). If I go through this again with another LO, I am going to slowly remove foods one by one instead of committing to a huge list all at once. I'm fairly certain that I was avoiding foods that my daughter was perfectly fine with, and I regret that. </p> <p>So sorry you are going through this. I hope your LO's issues clear up quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203545 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 00:04:28 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2203545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gentlelunette: Thank you for the suggestions, the quinoa salad and mashed potatoes are a great idea. I do have gluten free oatmeal that I have to force feed myself because I am not a fan but my supply has been good so far so I should thank it for that!</p> <p>@hellobeeboston: I just looked up the bread. I must have forgot to mention I can't have EGG either and thats in it :sad: Thats for the cook book recommendation!</p> <p>@catlady: I agree that it is really extreme.. I wanted to cry when he was writing everything down. I think he thought it was doable because he feels like it will only be a couple weeks and once her skin clears up then I can start adding things back into my diet and see if she reacts to it. But when I started researching more online when I got home I haven't come across any lists as long as mine.. (other stuff I forgot to say in the post was no eggs or tomatoes too) If things don't get better in the next week where I feel like I can start adding things back into my diet I will def seek a second opinion. Oh, and you are super women for sticking with that diet for 10 months!! Its barely been a week and I have to keep talking myself off the ledge. </p> <p>@Pancakes: Thank you, it is nice to hear things can get better when your child has eczema. </p> <p>@raintreebee: I agree it is strange that her stool has never been bloody or mucousy but he is really convinced it is a food allergy because of the extent of her eczema/rash. What did your elimination diet consist of? Others i have seen online aren't as severe either.</p> <p>@FliegepilzHut: Thank you for your suggestions, It sounds like a second opinion might be my next move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203496 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 21:43:00 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2203496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You poor thing! :sad: I don't know much about elimination diets...but second the idea of oatmeal with fruit being tasty and filling. Rice with vegetables would be good...and more pork or possibly buffalo? I second getting a second opinion before you cut EVERYTHING out...maybe a pediatric dermatologist? Hope you both feel better soon! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203493 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 21:39:57 +0000 raintreebee 2203493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on an elimination diet for months, and it was way less extreme than that and my son had more symptoms than your LO. I would also seek a second opinion or ask your pedi for a referral to a specialist. Personally, I am starting to think the food intolerance thing is being over diagnosed in infants these days. Blood in the stool is a hallmark sign, and if that isn't there...eczema is often just eczema. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203487 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 21:28:23 +0000 Pancakes 2203487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: Both of my girls have eczema. With LO1, my pediatrician told me I didn't need to eliminate anything from my diet, and subsequent dermatologists and pediatricians have also advised me not to cut anything out of her diet.<br /> LO2's eczema was pretty bad starting around 2 months. She was even on a course of antibiotics because her scalp was weepy and oozy. My pediatrician did suggest cutting out dairy but I found that managing her skin with moisturizer (we use a prescription called Prumyx) and occasionally desonide or triamcinolone was just better for everyone's sanity. Her skin got a lot better around 6 months, and for us that also coincided with spring. People that saw her as a newborn comment all the time about how much better her skin looks. Summer is tricky because when her arms and legs are bare they get irritated more easily but it's still manageable without me cutting anything from my diet.</p> <p>I would probably seek a second opinion. That just seems like a lot to be cutting out all at once. I might try just eliminating dairy to see if that helps before cutting everything else out. Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203452 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 20:35:19 +0000 catlady 2203452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first thing I would comment is that your list is incredibly long. It was really your pediatrician who asked you to remove all those things at once? That is really extreme and you may want another opinion. That being said, I was off dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, peanuts, and corn for about 10 months due to my LO's issues (blood in stool, not eczema). Your diet is even more restrictive than mine was, but here were some of my staples:<br /> - Burrito bowls with rice, beans, guacomole, and fresh salsa (you can even eat Chipotle on your diet)<br /> - Green smoothies with coconut or hemp milk as a base<br /> - Sushi rolls with coconut aminos (soy sauce substitute) - watch the fillings but you can do things like salmon and avocado<br /> - Sandwiches made with sourdough bread (no dairy usually but check ingredients), lettuce, tomato, "Just Mayo" (egg-less) and some lunchmeat (can you have ham?)<br /> - No sure it will work since you can't have beef, but we found chili, stew, and curry recipes that all worked<br /> - Junk food - potato chips and dark chocolate (watch for soy, it's very common in chocolate but you can find it without)</p> <p>Btw, I saw that you are not supposed to eat sesame but you have been eating hummus...just fyi, hummus is made with sesame (tahini). </p> <p>Good luck! Elimination diets are so hard! But know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203418 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 19:54:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 2203418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Udi's bread is dairy, gluten, wheat, soy and nut free! <a href="http://m.udisglutenfree.com/udis-products/?cat=4&#038;cid=61&#038;lbl=Breads%2C+Rolls%2C+%26+Buns&#038;pid=1015" rel="nofollow">http://m.udisglutenfree.com/udis-products/?cat=4&#038;cid=61&#038;lbl=Breads%2C+Rolls%2C+%26+Buns&#038;pid=1015</a></p> <p>And it actually tastes pretty good!! They have a ton of stuff but I'm not sure if it all covers all of your bases. </p> <p>Roasted garbanzo beans are delish and filling! Gwenyth Paltrow has a cookbook with some good recipes that work for elimination diets. Hmm, trying to think of more, will write back if I think of anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203408 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 19:44:41 +0000 gentlelunette 2203408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg. You poor thing... I would starve! I don't have a lot of suggestions for you, but here goes!</p> <p>Maybe a quinoa salad? (I like to make one with quinoa, homemade greek salad dressing, red pepper, kalamata olives, cucumber, green onion. I add chicken, but you can easily omit this and still get some protein from the quinoa) </p> <p>Also, potatoes? Maybe makes some mashed potatoes and use veggie broth instead of butter/milk? They might help you feel full. </p> <p>Can you eat oatmeal? You could make it with coconut milk and add in fruit, coconut flakes, cinnamon, etc to vary it up. Plus it might help your supply of you're finding its dipping due to weight loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elimination-diet-for-food-allergies-need-help#post-2203399 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 19:34:28 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2203399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 month old came down with bad eczema that the pediatrician believes is from a food allergy. Because I am BF/pumping he put me on an elimination diet. No Dairy, Wheat, Soy, Nuts, Sesame, Corn, Citrus fruits, and even Chicken or Beef.. I am finding it so hard to find things to eat, especially snack foods in between meals that will fill me up. All the snack foods I found at health food stores may be gluten or vegan but has dairy, or might be dairy and gluten free but have nuts or soy. The few things I did find I might as well be eating air I just feel like I am starving all the time. I can only eat so much hummus. I am naturally thin and I am loosing weight I don't want to be from this so if you have an meal ideas or snack ideas please let me know. Or just any knowledge or experience with eczema related to food allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2060010 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 21:33:04 +0000 brownie 2060010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Deer: they can do an X-ray to look to see if it is mechanical reflux.

I feel it made it harder for him to digest his food (because he wasn't making enough acid). Since the reflux was a symptom of his intestines and not actual reflux (we did the xray). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059959 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 20:46:55 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2059959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: do you think the meds were somehow contributing? Good for you for doing TED so long! I can do dairy/soy-free all day long but this is much much harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059806 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 18:07:34 +0000 brownie 2059806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did ted for 3 months before my son baselined . I was dairy free and soy free until he was 18 months old and we are all still soy free . He nursed until 2 years old.

Be specific. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059753 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:28:57 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2059753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I've read through some forums of people in a similar situation and it sounds like it's approved on a case by case basis (and only when the provideR writes a letter and prescribes it as DME - Durable Medical Equipment). I also called our insurance and the lady had no idea. The hard thing is that since I've anticipated her MSPI we don't have many doctors visits or proof of her issues to back us up. I think I'll call the ped tomorrow though and just sit down and talk with her about this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059748 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:21:57 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2059748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Deer: I don't have any advice, but can you get the billing code for the elemental formula then call your insurance and see if it's covered? Even if you don't decide to take that route, you'll have the "it'll cost us thousands!" part off your shoulders (hopefully) and won't feel like such a weighty decision (literally). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059720 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:54:41 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2059720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: No, not now that she's on the Zantac and I've cut food out. Since I thought she'd have MSPI and I cut everything out in pregnancy she's never had the chance to develop mucous in her stools (though after the trial of dairy there was blood). The reason I'm going off of the spitup is because it's exactly what Lucy would do. After eating dairy or soy she'd have constant chunky spitup (and eventually blood and mucous in her stool too). </p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: she did have blood in her stool the time I tried dairy. Going off the spitup (copious chunky and cottage cheese like) because it's exactly what her sister with MSPI did. And the fact that it's so intermittent. If she always just spitup a bit after feeds I wouldn't think twice. But there will be zero spitup one day, then constant chunky spitup the next. </p> <p>@hellobear: THANK YOU!! love the specific TJ's items! Just got the plain potato chips there yesterday and literally ate the whole bag. I didn't originally eliminate coconut and avocados but I think I need to, all the other top allergens have been out of my diet. Thanks for the encouragement! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059697 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:21:03 +0000 hellobear 2059697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*hugs* </p> <p>my LO has MSPI/ many food protein intolerances and i've been on a restricted diet for about 6 months now.. </p> <p>what I did try with my ED is to do a TED in the beginning for several weeks to try to really "get everything out" and then try to add foods back in that were not in the top 8 allergen category (dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts (+coconuts), wheat/gluten, fish/shell fish, eggs) and i also waited on foods known to be more allergenic like avocados. i would add 1 new food in at a time for 4 days minimum before deciding to keep or take back out. if i had to take something back out and i would several days (4-7 days depending on how long i could last..) before trying to add something new in. </p> <p>all i can say is i'm right there with you and it is a daily struggle trying to figure out what is best for my LO vs. balancing healthy eating for myself and preserving sanity in our household. i would only advocate doing this if it's something you feel comfortable doing as it did take a severe toll on me in the beginning knowing that I had to continue my strict diet and not being able to add back in foods and ultimately i firmly believe that mama needs to be healthy and happy so that the baby can also be healthy and happy also! </p> <p>some go to foods that helped me survive the TED are:<br /> * trader joe's quinoa/brown rice pasta (tastes SO GOOD)<br /> * trader joe's potato chips with only potato, olive oil, and salt in the ingredients<br /> * trader joe's allergen free snickerdoodle cookies (top 8 free)<br /> * japanese yams (baked at 450 for 1-1.5 hrs) -- these are SOOOO good and filling.. and so sweet :) like dessert!<br /> * if your LO can tolerate mangos (mine couldn't) trader joe's mango CHIPS found by the dried fruit/nuts section.. ingredients were only mangoes and palm oil (i think) </p> <p>wall me if you want more specifics! and lots of hugs to you, i can't imagine how tough it is to have to repeat this with your 2nd LO. i'm going through this with my first and I honestly don't know if I can do this again. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059684 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:04:23 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2059684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What makes you think that the spitup is because of something you're eating? I've been told that it's a reflux thing, and food intolerances are either on skin or bloody poop.

How are her stools?</p> <p>We are seeing a pediatric GI this week for reflux....but my understanding is that some babies are just spitters and good doesn't necessarily impact spit up.

It didn't get better, so I cut back to just a few foods for a few weeks. Then every few days I would introduce 1 new food. This seemed to be quickest way I could find to get her feeling better. It was tough and for the first few weeks food was all I could think about. I never did figure out what was causing it, but by the time she was 9 months she had outgrown it. She now eats everything. I'm glad I did it. I didn't want her to go through all of them tests to figure what the problem was. Her pediatrician said even with the tests they can't always pin point it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-breastfeeding-amp-elimination-diet#post-2059667 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 14:43:51 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2059667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: yeah I made sure my prenatals are clean.

Yeah I've held off on drops for her. Been keeping track of what I eat but I may have a few new foods a day (new as in they're allowed and I didn't think would bother her) so it's been hard to tell.
