For the past eight days I have cut dairy, soy, eggs and nuts out of my diet. I can't believe it has only been eight days, it feels like eight years. I am starting to make my way into the world of "allergy eating" and find it to be somewhat of a dark place. You know you are in a weird spot when a recommendation from a website is to eat fast food; apparently McDonalds hamburger and french fries has no allergy causing ingredients (for me at least). I might keel over from a heart attack, but at least no soy will leach into my breast milk. I had been eating gummy bears, lots of gummy bears. Some salad, but that hasn't sounded very good, tacos from baja fresh and the fajita plate from sharky's.
Two nights ago, after eating a rice krispie treat made with butter that sent Oliver into a vomiting frenzy, I committed to this diet change. I went to Whole Foods and bought some vegan muffins, some protein bars, fruit and veggies, and Horchata Rice Dream. That was the game changer. It is delicious! I would buy it even if I could eat all the dairy in the world. It tastes like something a normal person would consume, unlike the rest of this food which is very clearly just replacement food.
I love my son, but I really miss Starbucks lattes. The good news is that my pediatrician says most babies outgrow this by six months. Eight days down...
