I was hoping she would be close to outgrowing her allergy but no dice.
3 bites of ice cream yesterday gave her the runs & a rash! *sigh* this is so hard.
PS-
I see in your siggie that your baby has sensory issues. DD is a refluxer & on Prevacid. She used to have Sandifers & I still suspect she has sensory problems as well. What type of issues does your little one have? S. was/is sensitive to sound, light, water. Her temperment is awful at times-anything sets her off. Do you have any of this? Thx! T.
Hi Trina,
Landen hated the taste of rice milk as well and he also just couldn’t tolerate it. It gave him gas, constipation, reflux symptoms flared up and was up all night. We are doing Oat milk now. Pacific foods makes it. You might give it a shot instead of rice milk. Landen LOVES the taste and takes it in a sippy and is tolerating it well.
My older son has sensory integration problems with food (textures, smells) he won’t eat ANYTHING and gags voluntarily and involuntarily on food. He has issues with tactile too. His socks must be on straight or he’ll throw a fit, take them off and put them on his hands. He’s always walking around with socks over his hands. He is also sensitive to sounds. he startled SOOO bad as a baby and hated the vaccum cleaner. He’d cry and cry. I had to have someone take him outside so I could vaccum. Now he is constantly asking “what is that noise” and nobody else will hear a thing. Only a minute later we would figure out it was a “hum” from the refrigerator or something that really stood out to him that we would block out. He is SO hard to bathe. Freaks if you pour water over his head to wash his hair. He’s gotten better at nail clipping and teeth brushing, but those were once huge struggles. He just recently saw a team of people that work with kids with feeding problems and sensory problems and they confirmed what I was seeing was indeed sensory integration problems.
wow, sorry for the long response! Sensory problems can vary greatly from child to child. What helped me was the SPD checklist:
