Real-life tales of a seriously restricted breastfeeding diet
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Nutrition: Health, Media
Reading about the news that a mother's diet while breastfeeding could affect colic symptoms in her baby, Mamaloo pointed me to Mama C-ta, who has severely restricted her own diet to combat her son's major allergies and GI problems. Her diet consists of "all-natural turkey, sweet and yellow potatoes, yellow and green squash, rice (including oil, flour, syrup, pasta, rice cakes but no rice milk yet) sea salt, olive oil and pure cane sugar. Rice milk might be one of my first trials if we ever get J baselined again."
She's having a lot of trouble maintaining the diet; she's losing all kinds of weight, and when she goes out to the mall, or even the grocery store, she's often stymied in finding anything at all to eat. She's a trooper, though, and her son's health is improving a great deal. She's learned that testing for allergies before age one is highly unreliable, and that rice milk is not as "pure" as rice. She's learned that even seemingly "safe" McDonald's french fries can affect her milk. For Christmas? She wants nothing more than pizza, brownies, and pizza. Guess that'll have to wait until next year…

Thank god my son finally got better. It was a bitch being on a total elimination diet for several weeks. Now I'm still dairy free and mostly wheat free, and it's really made a difference.
