My 4 week old baby girl is in so much discomfort with gas that I'm looking into every possible option to help.  Has anyone one the elimination diet??  Suggestions?

    I have to disagree with the pp who said you just have to wait and see. That may be the case for some babies, but some babies are in fact bothered by things in Mom's diet. My DD2 is milk, soy protein intolerant. She had insane gas, green, mucousy, blood
