Hi all! Didn't think I'd be jumping in on this board, but here I am! I'm a FTM to a 6-month-old boy. He's had bad eczema since 2 months old, and at his 6-month appointment the pediatrician ordered a food allergy panel. He tested class 2 or class 3 for eggs, dairy, and wheat (though from what I'm reading the classes don't mean much?). We have an appointment with an allergist coming up, but for now I'm trying to cut major sources of dairy, eggs, and wheat out of my diet.
We started some solids a few weeks ago, and he was loving it and doing really well, but the last few times he's had a weird reaction. We normally offer food at dinner time, and the last 3 times we did, he ate well, nursed before bed, then seemed nauseated and threw up a couple hours later. He did this with avocado and banana- two foods he's eaten multiple times before without issue. So now we're stopping solids too until after we see the allergist, though I'm hoping this was just some weird circumstance that has nothing to do with an allergy. Anyone experience this before? Any insight?
Well, that turned out to be a lot longer than I intended! I'm excited to join you ladies, and I'm sure I'll have tons of questions as we start to navigate this new experience!
