So it looks like Addie has a dairy allergy. I really never eat much dairy at all, but yesterday I had a bit more than I usually do and I noticed some strange symptoms in Addie:
-She had lots of gas
-She would wake up screaming like she was in pain (did some googling and this is related to the gas she was having)
-She had a bunch of mucus in her poop :(
So after alot of googling and some help from a lady on fertilityfriend, I believe Addie has a dairy allergy. So my next step is to try to eliminate all dairy from my diet to see if that helps. It seems like its going to be sooo hard though! I love cheese and Mexican food which means I must have sour cream! But, Addie is more important so I'm going to try this and see if her symptoms go away.
I'm wondering if Braxton has something similar. Ever since I can remember he's had these little bumps all over his cheeks, arms and legs. One symptom of a milk allergy is eczema...though his pedi checked it out and said its not eczema but she couldn't tell me what it was. My cousin Lindsey told me they're "milk bumps" and that she knows several people that have them and its b/c they have either an allergy/intolerance/sensitivity to milk/dairy products.
I've also just found out today that wheat and milk allergies run in Joshs family. He was allergic to dairy when he was being breastfed and so they switched him to soy formula.
Siiiiigh. I just hope I can get this all under control so Addie can start feeling better!
