Tears

Crying out of frustration and relief.

Although Katie still refluxes, we hadn't been having much spit up for quite some time now. I'd have to look back through my blog to see when it improved, but I know it's been a couple months.

Lately however, we'd been having spit up again despite me being diary free. Tonight she spit up a good amount of her baby food after dinner and I was super upset about it. I am 100% certain I haven't even had any hidden diary lately.

We were literally racking our brains when we checked the Beech Nut Brown Rice Cereal that I'd been adding to her veggies. Sure enough, it contains whey. Seriously. WTF? Why does it need whey? I'm so sick of milk being in freaking EVERYTHING.

At least we know the cause and that it's not something new, but I still wish she could eat normally. (Which would also include me eating normal.)

Hi Theresa, I found your blog through Shooshie. I feel your pain about allergies. My son Conner was allergic to my breastmilk too. I thought that it was dairy and eliminated that from my diet to find out that dairy wasn't the problem. I ended up switching him to formula because I felt so bad that he was throwing up all the time. At 8 months old, I finally found out he was allergic to eggs and peanuts(allergy testing done by an allergist). Boy is it fun trying to find food that doesn't have either of those ingredients or are made in a plant that processes them. I feel like all I do is read labels now. I am sure you feel the same way.
