Elimination Diet

Has anyone tried the elimination diet?  I am EBFing and Gabe is getting gassier and gassier and his crying is starting to sound like there is pain behind it.  After he passes some gas, he'll settle down and stop crying.

I know there isn't an evidence that what mom eats can cause gassiness in baby, but on the off chance that something I'm eating is upsetting his digestive system, I'm willing to see if there's something I can do.

So, tell me about your experience with it..  Thanks!

    I haven't eliminated anything but I have a couple friends who have had a lot of success/improvement with eliminating dairy- milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, etc.

    I've also heard caffeine, chocolate, garlic, acidic foods (tomatoes/sauce, citrus), cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), and beans can contribute to gas.

    I'm officially eliminating cow's milk as of tonight (except for cooking). I'm lactose intolerant so I don't drink milk in the first place. Tonight is the 3rd time I've had ice cream and it has sent LO into pained hysterics 2 feeds after I eat it. I can feel her little tummy roll with gas bubbles. Do you notice any trends with what you eat making a difference or is it just every time he eats? I would think it would be much harder to eliminate something if you can't see a pattern of things that tend to upset his tummy.

    I've been doing it for about 4 weeks now, and it really has made all the difference. Little girl was in so much pain when I would nurse her and it was clear to me and the doctor that it wasn't just her acid reflux. Two days after I started it I noticed a very noticeable change in her. She is so much happier now and really only cries at a feeding now when the milk doesn't come out fast enough! I have eliminated ALL dairy products and food containing milk products in them. I thought that it would be so much harder than it really is, you gotta do what you gotta do for your LO.
