Even in ingredients. It definitely was the way to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147520 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 11:46:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 1147520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: I think I'm going to try everything. I'm sure I'll miss some things that I don't realize have milk in it, but I'll try. I'm going to make sure to eliminate soy at the same time. </p> <p>@scg00387: I think I'll take your approach is slowly trying to add potential offenders back in one at a time. </p> <p>I just really don't want to give up coffee. I will if I have to but it sure makes it easier to get through the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147512 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 11:38:13 +0000 runsyellowlites 1147512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In hindsight I wish I would've just gone for a full elimination diet &amp; then slowly added things back in. P would've been happy within a few weeks as opposed to the five months it took to figure everything out!</p> <p>Hope you can get it figured out quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147510 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 11:35:06 +0000 immabeetoo 1147510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I sort of half-assed it at first and found no change, then after one rough night I took a militant approach. I cut all dairy, even traces amounts in baked goods, all citrus, all spicy foods, all chocolate for two weeks. Then I added one thing back in for a few days in a row to see if it affected him. Turned out chocolate and anything dairy made him spit up/reflux. Cut out completely and was much happier, reintroduced into my diet at 6 months without issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147504 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 11:15:31 +0000 bloved 1147504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going through the same thing right now. By cutting out dairy, are you cutting only obvious dairy like milk and cheese, or also things that are made with dairy? So far I have just cut out the obvious dairy and I have not seen a change yet so not sure if I should be more drastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147495 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 11:00:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 1147495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: trying that this week. After today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147434 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 09:36:44 +0000 travellingbee 1147434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A Nurse suggested cutting all milk products out for a week and I got so desperate I did it. Within 2 days he stopped spitting up and screaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-figure-out-your-bf-babys-food-intolerance#post-1147430 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 09:29:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 1147430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure something in my diet is upsetting my baby's tummy (see my other desparate posts!). I don't know whether it's an intolerance or just something causing reflux. So my plan is to make up some chart where I track what and when I eat, when she is fed, and when she gets fussy. </p> <p>Is that pretty much what you all did? Of course like a bad scientist I'm also cutting back on or cutting out any suspects- so little dairy and no hummus for now. </p> <p>Any other suggestions? I'd eAt cardboard for a few months if it makes her happier and sleep better! </p>
