Thread: EBF & food allergies/intolerances

If you want something green, try broccoli. It's easy to get, cooks up soft, and the inner part of the stem mashes up smooth pretty easily. Turnips and beets are also relatively low allergenic and easy to work with. My son prefers beets, of course, since they are sweeter. But?be prepared for some alarming looking diapers!

I am top 8 plus 6 other foods - free for my kids while BFing.? I got used to it really quickly and it just got easier over time.? I think of it like if you moved or travelled to a different culture.? The foods would be different, but you would still find new favorite foods and enjoy everthing just fine.? :)

That's great!? Dd is the same way now thank goodness.? She can't have eggs directly though or she still reacts.? It's really crazy how alike our LO's turned out to be.?

Yes she did it was stated in an earlier thread

I completely understand your frustration that your daycare provider is not following your instructions.? I would be upset about that. BUT, if he's eating these foods without reaction, that is good news.? I would let your allergist know that she has fed your DS some of these foods, and according to her, without reaction.? I would push for in office challenges so that YOU and your allergist can watch for reactions.? Perhaps she is missing...

Yeah, relatives can be bad. Luckily my MIL is WONDERFUL! She is the best MIL in the world. She has celiac's and dairy intolerance, so she's in my boat.

If they are shelled walnuts, they should be safe but always read the label.

Mine haven't outgrown.? DD (6 yo) is class 6, > 100 for milk..? DS?(3-1/2 yo) is class 4.? Maybe your lo will outgrow earlier, it's what we all wish. ?

My son is allergic to bananas and projectile vomits if he eats them.? We are fortunate in that his allergist was more than willing to test him for not only to top 8 but also for every 'suspect' food as well as anything else I've asked her to test for.? The only problem is that with my son we have had to go more by reaction than by skin test results because everything came back normal except peas. He is allergic to beef, milk,...

I also had problems with?rice cereal.? I tried Gerber then tried Earth's Best Organic Rice Cereal but the result was the same.? She broke out in hives and was absolutely miserable.? I wanted to try the Happy Bellies brand but was scared to even attempt it.? I've decided to skip the cereals altogether and move onto making my own baby food.? Thanks for the information! K
