Hello all, I'm just embarking on the TED with my two year old (still
breastfeeding) daughter. Suzanne has been very helpful in getting us started,
but I was wondering if any of you might be able to mentor me a bit, share your
experiences?
As a little bit of background - I'm a biomed Mom of three girls, our first, now
8, was diagnosed with developmental delay, and more recently, an endocrine
disorder. Our second daughter has a moderate peanut allergy. Our third,
unvaccinated, has had chronic loose stools for more than 6 months, and more
recently, worsening eczema. We did IgG allergy testing and came up with soy and
peanut. My mission at the moment is to figure our what other foods are
problematic for her, hence the TED.
We've started with chicken, beef, and lamb, millet and rice, cooked carrot,
beet, broccoli, pears and blueberries. We had one good stool last Sunday, and
then I cheated, and I also think she od'd on the fruit. So the last several
stools have been bad again. I've removed blueberries and poached pear for
myself and haven't given her any fruit today.
I've also taken both of us off all supps, and so there is concern that we're not
getting proper nutrition. I have Neocate but am afraid to use it until we see
some improvement. So far I've been unable to find truly hypoallergenic
supplements.
