  Recipes are hard for the TED because it requires you to eat so bland and basic. I ate a lot of pork and poultry seasoned with s & p or italian seasonings and cooked in evoo, sweet potato, and veggies and rice. However, I ended up having to go vegan after finally figuring out my lo has severe chicken intolerance, in addition  to dairy, soy and beef. As hard as it is, I suggest diving right in, because you should see dramatic change within a week if that is it, unlike dairy. I drug it out a little with eliminating things one by one and that just made me have to be on the diet that much longer. You can do it! gl!

  DS still had mucous in his stool after I eliminated dairy and soy for a few weeks when he was 3 months old. Our pediatric GI said if I wanted to keep breastfeeding to give up dairy/soy/nuts/fish/egg. So I did. I was off all of it for 2 months (this was even during November and December during the holidays) and then started adding one of the categories back in each week, except for dairy.
  

  For breakfast I had cereal with rice milk, for lunches I would do Amy's frozen meals/soups or sandwiches. For dinner I would do a lot of Mexican and pasta from what I remember.   

  Overall I was off dairy for 9 months. It was hard and I don't know that I will do it again but as a first time SAHM it was really important to me and I am proud of myself for doing it.
