Eliminating Dairy

Has anyone done this? Results? Hoping it will help gas issues...she wakes herself up farting like an old man! And we have fussy off and on breastfeeding issues, particularly when I have had milk or eggs. Those days she also spits up which she almost never does. I read kelly mom but wondered if y'all have any insight? This is for breastfeeding moms obviously. Thanks, ladies!

I notice my LO is more gassy and fussy when I eat dairy as well. I haven't cut everything out just main dairy products like milk, yogurt, ice cream. I still eat cheese and butter and he seems fine cut out the bulk and see if it helps, if he's still having problems you may have to be more strict with it. GL

DD has milk and soy protein allergy so I have cut all forms of dairy out of my diet.  Like PP said I would try obvious dairy first and see if it helps and then go from there.  Dairy is in way more food than you would ever think so try the major ones before you have to make the commitment to something more strict.  My guess basis your symptoms is that major dairy should be enough.  Also remember to give it some time.  Dairy can be in your system for a couple of weeks and then awhile longer to leave LO - so wait 2-3 weeks before you make a determination.

Ds1 had a severe milk protein intolerance. He spit up a ton plus he had blood in his poop. I had to cut out all forms of dairy- obvious plus not obvious like whey in processed foods. I would first try cutting milk out and go from there. Ds2 was gassy and I have stopped drinking milk and it seems to have helped. I'm hoping he doesn't have a milk protein intolerance either as ds1 started having problems around 4 months but so far he's been ok.

Thanks for the replies. I can't believe how many things have dairy in them?
