TED/ strange BM/ Rice cereal

[Anonymous]

I have a 4 month old with terrible reflux. We’ve tried all the meds (currently on Zantac), so now I’m looking at diet. I am currently breastfeeding and using Neocate. The dr told me to eliminate all dairy from my diet. It’s been about 2 weeks, but no change.

Also, normally her BMs are thick and a very dark green/ black color, but yesterday she had a very light green mucous looking diaper. That’s the first time it’s ever looked like that. Any thoughts?

Also, I am considering starting a TED diet. But she is taking 12 tsp of rice per 5 oz bottle. Can we continue with the rice if I do TED?

I appreciate any thoughts!

It wont hurt to try the TED diet. It can at least 2 weeks for the dairy/foods to leave your system and that long as well for the baby…sometimes longer. When it comes to eliminating foods, or adding back in I think a month is a better rule of thumb.

With the rice cereal,check the brand you are using. gerber has soy and milk in it, they are good at calling them by other names…beechnut and earths best are the best to use if you are eliminating dairy etc.

Thanks. Is there a difference in white rice and the darker? I saw earths best at the store, but didn’t want to buy whole grain or whatever it was if it was going to be harder on her stomach.
