Your blog is really awesome, that is why I just keep on coming back. It will be my pleasure if you visit mine @ http://www.zuup.com/what-is-zuup You see I’m a health care enthusiast, looking forward to hearing from you.

OH MY GOD!! I had to go throught he same thing with my thre mo old... it's as crazy as you say really! And YES, I gave it a break to see what happened and started eating it all little by little and then, after a really long time, wheat and dairy.I lost control and still am a bit out of control with eating. Even more now that I realized the latest additions I did had some consequences on my little baby... I'm going to have to start it over!

I would really like to start this diet. Can anyone give me the information (food list, etc...) on this diet? I have tried finding it free online to no avail... I really appreciate it! My email address is arianajean@gmail.com Thank you!

Why is the enemy cat?I like cats, because they are very docile. But even the dogs don't like mice, as far as I know, the dog will go after them, and seize it.

that's fantastic! I'll keep checking to see your progress. Good luck!!

LOL, I may try this. Sounds better than a screaming fussy baby!

Very nice. An excellent diet, in deed. :)

Ok, so I am just starting this deeeeelicious diet. I never tried it with son #1, as the docs never thought he had food allergies; we just battled through the bad nursings and diarrhea and reflux and eliminated some major allergens and finally weaned at 9 mths and then allergy tested him, only to find he inherited the food allergies I didn't know existed on my dear hubby's side of the family. Now son #2 is showing same signs, despite most allergens already being out of my diet (soy, wheat, dairy, egg, peanut, nut, shellfish) and this is my last stop before weaning (at 6 mths). So I am trying to figure out what calcium supplement I can take. I called whole foods looking for one, and the one they recommended contains citric acid and raspberry flavoring. Any idea if that is okay? I have seen citric acid on some of the lists of foods that can contain/be derived from corn. And raspberry....well, that's not ideal, is it? But what else can I do? I have to get some calcium...*sigh*

do your child have blood in her stool?

Ooh sugar and craisins, yum! I'm on day 9 on the TED and my 14 week old DD has made a big improvement, but her reflux (and now what looks like possible constipation) is still there. I have lost 7 lbs already which has been a bright spot in all of this! I've been wondering if she's reacting to something on this diet. Maybe it's all the rice and rice products I've been eating. I've also heard some babies react to millet, and I'm even unsure about the potatoes and the turkey. Ah!! So confusing. How did you go about figuring it out?

Rice, eh? How long did you try the non-modified diet before you realized she was reacting to the rice? I started this about 4 days ago for the same reasons (gas, reflux, green poop) and some days are better, some not so much. I'm wondering if the allergens are just not out of my system yet, or if he's having a reaction. Also, CRAISINS?? SUGAR??? Those would be a godsend right now (especially the craisins, GOD I NEED A SNACK!)... How did you go about figuring out what she wouldn't react to? I'm currently eating turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, rice, (millet - bought but not yet consumed), and rice milk and only salt & pepper for seasoning. Did you use any seasonings? I'm dying without garlic here. Sorry to bombard you with questions 3 years later, but OMG someone I "know" who's gone through this hell.

Wow! I was on the same diet. It seemed to be the only thing that worked. I went off b/c I was hungry and missing all the evils (my favorites). Since, we've tried acid reflux medicine, regular and hypoallergenic formula, pumping BM and feeding by bottle. Kudos to you for doing it soooo long. Maybe I should suck it up, and go back on the diet because I can say it was the only thing that offered relief. When did your child suffer from her symptoms? My daughter's happens at night, when all others are sleeping. The daytime is fine, which is another reason I'm hesitant to go back to "the diet". I'd love to here from you via e-mail.

Wow, I am SO there right now! My first daughter was allergic to eggs, soy and dairy. My latest addition (2 months today) is so far allergic corn, soy, dairy, and wheat (and I suspect food dyes, salicylates, iron and citric acid). I was eating just turkey, brown rice, green beans, pears and sweet potatoes until I could add fish (tilapia) and then chicken. Well I switched brands of fish and chicken (that's what happens when you ask your husband to stop and pick up meat for you - he had good intentions). Apparently the chicken or fish was fed corn cause the past two nights I've had my babe in the Moby wrap, bouncing on the edge of our guest bed for 6 hours straight to get her to sleep - oh and this is AFTER dosing the poor screeching in pain child with Tylenol w/Codeine and Hyoscyamine drops. So now I not only have to watch what I eat, but I have to watch what what I am about to eat has eaten, got that? Glad to know you made it through to the other side! Gives me a ray of hope :)

it is really a thanksgiving diet!

that's a ot of food to eat!! God Graceous!!!

Dude - potatoes, turkey & cranberries? Seriously? Not...like..cranberry SAUCE, but cranberries??? I might be able to do this. It's better than Atkins, on which I lasted 2 whole days, and faster than weight watchers which I did for 10 months and lost 42 lbs. 70 lbs in 5 months??? Bring it on!!!!!!!!

I was on this diet for 3 years due to DS #1 food allergies. It was not the best thing in the world, but I survived and my son was so much better for it.

Oh quit your bitching, you skinny, childbearing bitch!! =)

I'll probably weigh four HUNDRED pounds when and IF I ever reproduce!!

Glad you're back on regular people eats, though, as inviting you guys to dinner was TOUGH!! ;)
