How do you know …

Basically, what symptoms would I look for to determine if Peyton is allergic to something I am eating, like dairy. I have eliminated dairy for now but am not sure if it has helped. Do I look for increased fussiness, crying? I read somewhere about blood in the stool? How immediate would the reaction be? THanks

I didn’t realize at the time that it was related to her wheat allergy, but Kaelyn would eat happily. Then she would typically fall asleep (the only time that she slept). About half an hour after eating, she’d wake up screaming bloody murder. She is an extreme case though.

When my girls get into food that they shouldn’t now, they get bad diaper rashes, dark circles around their eyes, red rings around their bottoms, weird rashes on their stomachs, arms, legs, or faces, and mucousy poops.

Gas, gas and more gas. And passing wind that seems painful…like a shriek and then a “fart”.

Abby was just incredibly fussy and gassy! She never had blood or mucous in her stools. Make sure that you give it time. Usually it is best to do the milk free diet for a month or more. It can take sometimes 2wks or more to get everything out of their systems. Also, some if not most babies who can’t tolerate milk as can’t tolerate soy. So you might want to go soy free also.

Good Luck!

there are a lot of links/posts/info to go through all about TED

I’m not meaning to sound cold or harsh- just that there’s a lot of info, if you look for it, lol

there are links from groupie intro, from the ‘main’ mspi page, & there’s now even a TED section/forum (I think?)

Oh so true Therese – I thought I had the only screaming “farters” in the world!!

For my kids, the symptoms have been general fussiness and unsettled behaviour, worsened sleep, extreme gassiness where they are clearly uncomfortable because of it, mucousy stools, and eczema.

Oooohhhh… I forgot about the gas. As an infant, it was horrible! She would scream and scream and toot and toot. How could I have forgotten that?
