My friend's baby seems not to tollerate most foods. When she was a newborn and my friend was breaskfeeding the baby reacted negatively to protien food like meats, wheat,dairy,corn,egg..etc....

And baby decided to wean herself off mamma milk so my friend gave her formula, then she switched to the hypo- allergenic one for a few months. Now she is on carnation good start.

The baby is 6-7 months old and seems to be reacting negatively to rice,oatmeal,some fruits.

She is a very fussy baby, gassy, gets a diaper/allergy rash ring on her bum when eats an offending food. She also has GERD/Refulx.

My friend took her to an alternative doc and did some muscle response testing and she came back allergic to just about everything.

My friend wants some testing done but doesn't want to expose her to the food before the test.

She wants to know what grain can she have???

Oatmeal is out and with Rice cereal she gets extremely constipated, even with just 1 tsp mixed with a jar of fruit in a day.

She also seems to be allergic to peas & bananas..And other fruits she has tried go through her fast.

Anyone have some advice I can send her, please email me.

at six months, it may just be too early for most foods. her digestive system may need more time to develop.

I tired to tell her that but she says her baby screams and gets really mad if she isn't also eatting baby foods...she eats 3 meals a day along with her formula...she's 7 months old now. She says the baby wants to eat from a spoon more than a bottle, she often refuses her bottles.

I personally think my friend introduced solids too early knowing her baby has possible food allergies.

If a six month old baby is reacting that badly to foods, I would just give the baby formula. There is enough nutrition in formula to keep them healthy and growing until they are 4 years old. I wouldn't rush solids. The baby's reactions are saying I'm not ready for this. I didn't start feeding my son solids until he was 9 months old and then took it very slow. He was and still is allergic to lactose. I'm sure that I have so many allergies because I was fed solids too soon. My baby book said I had orange juice at 6 weeks old! I can't drink too much of it to this day. I wish your friend luck. I definitely would tell her not to push solids at this time.

That's the advise I give her but she isn't taking it. However she keeps asking me for advise on the topic. She says she can't not give her baby food, the baby is wanting it so badly...I give up don't know what else to say to her.

Just my opinion, but I don't think I'd put much stock in the muscle response testing, especially not on a 6-month-old.

janel, two possibilities that come to mind are either an eosinophilic problem, or a condition called FPIES---food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome.

Can you reffer me to some sites that will better explain what this is?

I have been verbally telling her everyone's responses because with 2 kids and 1 on the way she has little to no internet time anymore. I'm sad to say she is not gonna take the advise that everyone is offering thus far. I totally agree with many of you she should stop solids. I'm just very fustrated because she calls me often and asks for advise on this topic but doesn't take the advise given.

Is your friend a celiac as well? This sounds very much like my friend's daugher (friend is celiac, her hubby is IBS). The child has no IgA, multiple food sensitivities (wheat, soy, egg) and allergies (milk, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame) and a genetic fructose-sucrose sensitivity causing lack of a certain enzyme (therefore no sugar, fruit, high sugar veggies, or sorbitol).

Not that I know of. But my friend does have IBS and some food allergies like she's allergic to melon.

Is IBS related to celiac or wheat intollerantcy?

Perhaps it's time to say "I've given all the advice I can give. I understand that you are looking for a different answer, but I don't have a different answer to give, so please stop asking." (or time to just stop giving advise even when asked...) There's only so much you can do.

IBS is one of the most common mis-diagnoses of celiac.

I will be sure to let her know along with my mother in law who has IBS as well.

And I hate to sound harsh to her but I agree next time she asks for advise I will be blunt and tell her I have given you my advise and it's still the same.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
