I EBF and DD is VERY gassy, most of the time Mylecon only offers minimal relief. Pedi suggested today cutting out dairy to see if she's sensitive (i know i was as a baby, so there's reason to be suspicious).
My question is this, it seems like EVERYTHING has dairy in it. For those of you who have given it up, what do you eat? I feel like i'm going to be stuck eating crackers and juice for the next 10 1/2 months! Thanks
Re: XP from 0-3: giving up dairy
You may not have to cut out all dairy - just the more obvious forms. When I had dairy Drew would break out in a little rash (just like I did when I was a baby). I cut out milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc and it was fine. I could eat things with 'hidden dairy' no problem. I could even eat things cooked with milk in them (usually baked goods).
I've been able to add back in almost all dairy at this point.
I eat lots of meat and fruits and veggies. I eat cereal with vanilla almond milk every morning for breakfast, then a chicken salad or sandwich for lunch and a meat and vegetable for dinner. I have also found a vegan butter substitute that I use on potatoes. I have been off of dairy for 6 weeks (because of DS's reflux) and I am finding more and more foods that I can eat.
GL!
