If you cut out dairy products...

...while bfing, what on earth DO you eat? I'm pretty sure DS is dairy intolerant, so I need to cut it from my diet for a few weeks and see if he gets better. My problem is that everything I normally eat is dairy - yogurt, lots of cheese, milk and cereal, ice cream, etc. I want to cry. Please tell me what your diet looks like to give me some ideas of what I should move on to!

    My DS had MSPI (milk soy protein intolerance) so I had to cut out all dairy and soy.  I ate a lot of fruit, vegetables, and meat.  Try these websites:

    The website above has great recipes.

    Also I ordered the following cookbook.  It was great because it gave you a list of substitutions and ingredients to avoid.  I think I ordered it from Amazon.

     Good luck!

    I cut out dairy for a while, and it seemed to be helping, but DD's pediatric gastroenterologist told us that it really doesn't usually help.  DD ened up having reflux, for which she was put on meds.

    i only had to give up obvious dairy - i am slowly phasing it back in tho.  when i could eat dairy i ate oatmeal (w/o milk) & applesauce for breakfast, egg salad, turkey sandwiches, pb & j for lunch, things with chicken or ground turkey for dinner.  snacks = trail mix, hummus with carrots, granola bars...

    My non-dairy diet was very similar.  I also ate a lot os pasta with tomato sauce, and kept frozen fruit bars around to substitute for ice cream.  Thankfully, DD conquered her intolerance at around 8.5 months.

    I have been cutting it out for the past week and a half to see if this is what's causing LO's gassiness. It is SO hard, I hate it! I have been eating very similar things to the PP. Cheese is the absolute hardest for me, especially since I ate so much of it while I was PG!

    I'm so sorry. I had dairy issues before pregnancy.

    Here's what I eat:

    Irish Oatmeal, fruit and Gnu fiber bar in the morning

    This may sound nasty but it's really good- I use apple sauce with my favorite cereal (Kellogs Smart Start). I eat it for breakfast or snack sometimes 

    Fruit for snack (apples usually)

    toast or crackers with jam. Treat yourself to really yummi jam. right now I've been using pumpkin butter-so good.

    Main meals- whatever you usually eat but without cheese.

    sweet treats - so delicious soy ice cream bars. so good even DH eats them

    It's very hard for the first 2 weeks and then you won't even notice it's gone.
