Hi everyone!
I've been a part of December '13 since April. My daughter, Cecelia was born on NYE, 8lb 8oz. I am a Health and P.E. Teacher in PA.
Anyway, I have Celiac Disease, along with most of my family. (Immediate and extended) My husband has Crohn's, along with a few other family members. DH's cousins son has a milk and egg allergy as well. DH, our siblings and I were on soy formula due to a milk intolerance as babies.
I have been gfree my whole pregnancy with the exception of 2 accidental 'glutened'. Because of it, my baby was active for almost 72 hours, nonstop, prenatal. We are EBF with 1 bottle of BM per day. By the time she was 2 weeks, she was in so much pain, green poop and projectile vomiting. I cut out dairy and it took the edge off within days. After 2 weeks dairy free, I tried some yogurt and her symptoms returned almost immediately. Definitely milk intollerant! I did this myself because the Pedi said that my diet doesn't effect her. (Which is total BS. I'm living proof of diets effects on the body. )
If you've stuck through the above paragraphs, thanks! I hope to gain some knowledge and support through this board. I know it's tough cutting major food groups out of diets. Hopefully, I can offer some insight since gluten is hidden in many things. My grammar is terrible and I probably won't have time to check this post until her 1am feeding. (Apologies) I'm also mobile. Here's a pic of my little Chica for your time!
