    1. How are you doing? How is your LO doing? We're ok, DS got a cold this weekend and now I have it. His face is breaking out, which the allergist said would probably happen whenever he was sick as it revs up his immune system. Tummy-wise, though, he's ok.

    2. Are you making any special MSPI-friendly Christmas treats? I have not got this far in my planning yet, but thought I'd throw it out there for you over-acheivers. :)

    3. Dealing with MSPI can be very stressful. What do you do to relieve stress? I aim to do 15-30 min of gentle yoga once/week. I also use deep breathing, visualization, and progressive relaxation as needed, and I try to go out with friends or take some time for myself about once/month. I haven't been running because I don't have a lot of extra calories to burn, but just going on short walks to get some fresh air is helpful. I find gardening and cooking relaxing too.

    4. Any other burning questions you'd like answered or experiences to share? Not today!

    1. How are you doing? How is your LO doing? We are doing good.  Ds has his 9mo check up and Pedi was happy with his growth since last weight check. 

    2. Are you making any special MSPI-friendly Christmas treats? Nope, and not making any non-MSPI-friendly treats to tempt myself with.

    3. Dealing with MSPI can be very stressful. What do you do to relieve stress?  Dealing with MSPI hasn't been stressful to me -- trying to find WIC approved commercial baby fruits/snacks without apple and pear has been harder.  As a result, I avoid the baby aisle as much as I can when I don't need to shop for his purees.

    4. Any other burning questions you'd like answered or experiences to share? Not yet.

    1. How are you doing? How is your LO doing? We both have colds again. We have been trying soy but he has been refusing most of it bc he is a picky eater. When I eat itbaked into something he seems fine, also I had a small soy latte and he didn't have a reaction. However today he ate turkey sausages with soy protein in them and now has a red chin. I'm wondering if it is from the sausages or is a coincidence.

    2. Are you making any special MSPI-friendly Christmas treats? I think gingerbread cookies can be made dairy, egg, soy free so maybe those. I'd love to do sugar cookie cut outs bc I have really cute Christmas cutters, but I don't know if it would work dairy, soy, egg free.

    3. Dealing with MSPI can be very stressful. What do you do to relieve stress? Clean lol

    4. Any other burning questions you'd like answered or experiences to share? See #1 please. Dyt it means I can have soy and he can tolerate it through my milk, but not directly?

    2.  My family always does chocolate fondue for NYE, anyone know how to do it dairy free? Should I just melt down dairy free chips? I'm not really sure if my aunt normally adds anything else...
    4. DD has some darkish circles under her eyes which may be allergy related, is there anything I can do for that? She has a very fair complexion so it might also be just her...


    2. I've never done fondue, but the Enjoy Life choc chips melt really easily, I bet you could just use those! If some sort of milk is needed you could probably sub a plant milk.

    3. From what I've read, I think the only treatment is allergy meds. I have very fair skin, especially under my eyes, so my veins have always been visible there. Sometimes people would think I had a black eye. :(

    1. We're alright. Still battling sleep :( I did break down and eat a pizza. I was really craving it and after 4ish months of this I kind of needed a break! And he didn't really seem any worse! :) he had maybe a slightly redder ring around his anus but not the same grumpiness that he used to get. (Although I do have a hunch that soy is the bigger culprit than dairy).

    2. Have not got that far!

    3. I'm horrible at stress relieving. I have horribly tight back muscles. So I try hot baths and some yoga to relieve it. And go to the chiropractor or massage therapist occasionally. Sometimes I just need to "zone out" so the bump and TV help me with that. :)

    4. Nothing burning this week.

    Ah, the MSPI guessing game... Has he had any other symptoms since eating the sausage? I think the only thing to do is try giving it to him again and look for a reaction. It seems like the soy latte would have had a lot of the soy protein in it too... Maybe he is outgrowing it and can handle it in your milk but not directly. My DS is fine now when I eat wheat, but gets rashy when he eats it.

    1. We are doing pretty well. Still seeing just a tiny bit if blood in his diapers on occasion but not consistently.

    2. I haven't thought that far ahead. I'm working on planning our road trip to get to my parents' house for Christmas. It's a 14 hr drive, and I'm trying to get an idea of some safe restaurants that we can eat at on the way up.

    3. I drink a glass of wine at night and eat chocolate. Sometimes I just get upset and have to just be upset for a little bit. I went to a Christmas party and could eat very little, so that was miserable. I was really upset after that. Christmas is going to be tough.

    4. Does your LO also react to goats or sheep's milk products? Also, what is a typical age for trying to reintroduce something like cheese to your diet? DS is only 2 months so I imagine it will be a few months. But I was just curious.

    I want pizza. Greasy, cheesy pizza. That is all! Haha!
