My youngest daughter is 13 months and she eats gluten/dairy free right now - she eats anything I give her, whether it be rice, beans, any fruits, any cooked veggies, cooked potatoes, small bites of meat, etc. She never did like pureed baby foods so she's been eating table foods and chewing with her gums from before she had any teeth.

Well, I got an allergist appointment for actual testing on Tuesday and then an appointment with a ped. GI specialist for next Friday. Hopefully the combination of the two will start us down the path towards healing. We had a bad night last night - I fixed red beans and rice (with corn) for dinner and she loved it but by 11pm, she was up, having a lot of...

thanks! I might ask for the genetic testing, I have a GI appointment for her next friday

Yeah, I am concerned about leaky gut... I'll look into digestive enzymes too. She's just so young to already have so many digestive problems, it breaks my heart!

synthetic citric acid is a mold based "thing" (can it be called a food??) I am going to see what else is in the class of cross-reactivity with banana and I am going to call in the morning to get allergy testing to rule that aspect out.

My youngest daughter is 13 months old. Here is her story - please help me advocate for her and get her healthy again!

Her Dr. diagnosed her with reflux, put her on meds, ended up on super strong meds, and that helped the colic. BUT she didn't...

I didn't think about her getting gluten during the pregnancy but that makes sense. I'll ask her ped. about a letter next time we go in, If she wants to cheat as an adult, I'm not sure a letter will do much to prevent that but you're right, it's probably a good idea to have one on hand.

In what circumstance would she need a letter stating that she is gluten intolerant?

My youngest daughter is almost 13 months old. Starting at 2 weeks old she started having bad colic and by 3 months had fallen off of the growth chart. (I did not think to take gluten out of my diet while breastfeeding her). On formula, she thrived - until introduction of food, when symptoms started returning. Dr's were not helpful but a nutritionist recommended...
