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.

Just a thought, maybe you should show your friends these posts. It couldn't hurt. I feel sorry for that little baby.

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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
