Cut out multiple foods, how to tolerance test dairy directly to LO
Hey everyone, just curious if anyone here has cut out multiple foods to get to baseline, then tolerance tested foods directly to their LO?
LO is 8.5 months and BF. Went dairy free at 1.5 months, soy free at almost 3 months, then cut out the rest of the top nine allergens, corn, and rice at 5 months in order to get to baseline diapers before starting solids. LO’s only symptom has been bad diapers, including specks of blood. Since cutting all these foods we were able to get to baseline before starting solids. Per the advice from the CMPA FB group, I tried tolerance testing foods through my diet but had a couple of mistrials. I was getting anxious about not exposing LO to allergens early enough and decided to tolerance test directly to his diet since we have started solids. So far we have added back in peanut butter, gluten/wheat, and are doing ascorbic acid and dextrose (derivatives of corn). We are doing a week of these derivatives since we are planning to do eggs over Memorial Day weekend and didn’t want to do a food that might be a trigger, but getting these derivatives back into my diet would be huge. The plan to do eggs over Memorial Day weekend is because last time we did eggs through my diet LO caught a stomach bug — we are 90% sure the symptoms were from being sick but just in case they aren’t and were a reaction to eggs, we wanted to have a longer weekend for the trial.
All this to say, is there anyone in this thread that ended up with a LO that had an intolerance that was something other than dairy, and was totally fine with dairy? We are trying to decide what to trial after eggs, and we are debating doing dairy or soy because it would get a lot back into my diet, but there is obviously the risk of them being triggers and then we have to go through a detox period before we can try another food. For those that have tolerance tested directly to LO for dairy, what dairy product did you use and how much did you give? I was thinking yogurt but no idea how much to give for quantity and how many days. Would also love suggestions for soy!!
