have you suffered health-wise from an mspi diet while BFing?

I've been dairy/soy/beef/peanut free now for 5 months. lately i haven't been feeling great, very weak, tingling in my hands, just 'off'.  Just had bloodwork done and my doc said i'm low on iron and vitamin D so i'm going to start taking supplements.  She said vitamin D is best from diary which i am obviously not eating right now.  As far as iron, i've been eating lots of leafy greens, lentils, adding molasses to my oatmeal...so far it hasn't been enough. In general I consider myself a healthy eater--lots of veggies, avocado, eggs. But still lacking...

Anyone else bumped into issues with your own health while trying to cater to baby's? Any tips?

    I've been off dairy and soy (and tree nut, peanut, fish, shellfish) just under 2 months and I've already lost 10 pounds.  I was very thin to begin with.  I wouldn't be surprised if I'm anemic.  I take a calcium + Vitamin D pill almost every day but the full dose is 2 pills so I should probably start taking 2.  I'm depressed because the diet is not even working.  Found blood in his poo just a couple days ago.  I simply cannot eliminate any more from my diet (would have to cut egg and wheat to round out the top 8 and that is just not going to happen).  Good luck.  I'm not the healthiest eater right now.  Lots of carbs.  In spite of everything I seem to have an amazing amount of energy, though.  No clue where it's coming from.... unless it's the carbs!
