I posted about 2 weeks ago for the first time about my 7 mo old son. Everyone who responded felt that he had a food intolerance. Thanks to you all, I felt motivated to do the Total Elimination Diet and OMG it worked!!!
Within 2 days he was markedly better but then he got bad again and I was so upset thinking it didn’t work. But now for the past week he has been happier than I’ve ever seen him! His endless moaning is 99% gone! Signs of reflux have diminished and his nasal congestion is getting better (with the help of Nasonex). We even decided to try stopping the Axid and he’s been fine without it. I’m trying not to get too excited because if he falls back to bad it will be quite a letdown but I am enjoying every good day I get with him now. He can sit on the floor and play with a toy for 30 min by himself before wanting me…..before he used to get upset within 2 minutes of anything. People used to just tell me I had a fussy baby with a poor attention span….but I always believed the reflux was making him constantly uncomfortable.
Anyway, I’ve started adding foods back to my diet and so far we’ve been fine with avocado and carrot. I’m so curious to know which food(s) were bothering him. There are so many foods to add back he will probably be weaned before I’m done…. We’re going to get an allergy test done and see if that helps us figure things out.
Thank you! I am so grateful to have found this forum!!
