- sometimes 3 days to get a reaction, sometimes hours
- symptoms - colicky, crying, uncomfortable, gassy, mucus poop, exzema, blood in poop
- should grow out of it
though these can vary greatly child to child:
ryder - all of above
kate - exzema, rashes
weston - mucus (like a perpetual cold)
-to begin - no milk products, no animal milks, no soy
-after all symptoms are gone - 30+ days sometimes, you can add 1 item back and see if baby reacts
ryder always continued to react. Kate was able to add soy back in
other allergy testing - I eventually did pediatric allergy testing, just 10 items (dog, cat, milk, eggs, soy, nuts...)
ryder is allergic to soy = no reintroduction
TO DO:
-read labels
-ask questions
-take calcium
-probiotics for baby (easiest to mix into cold baby food at 6mo +)
Cocyntal - natural relief of colic symptoms associated with colic, including gas pain and irritability.
Gripe Water - love it! expensive, so you can just use strong camomile tea (main ingredient in gripe water)
Whole Child Wellness - Belmont - Kandice the nutritionist
