Welcome!!!!! You are a brave and wonderful mommy to do the TED. I really admire you!

I would highly recommend adding probiotics into what you are already doing. I can not tell you of dosage because it depends on what brand and type you are using. Have you already purchased some? If so, what kind? They should tell how much to give according to age or weight.

Another thing that you might want to consider is giving digestive enzymes. Actually they would probably work better if you yourself took them.

Please take the time to read my blog. I hope that sometime later today I will have more time to write out some details.

ok, links!

I have a LOT to say and most of it’s here, in a link called ‘groupie intro.’
It’s looOong but TRULY will help you-
read through it, refer back to it, scroll through it/skim through it.
You’ll find yourself coming back to it!

Reasons a breastfeeding mother might think her baby is reacting to something in her milk:
*poop that is not ‘normal’ mustardy yellow, seedy breastfed baby poop
*mucous in poop; mucous can look like: snot, jelly, cottage cheese, stringy like the inside of a banana
*foul-smelling poop
*stinky, foul-smelling painful gas
*straining and grunting to poop and, when baby finally does poop, it’s soft

the TED takes two weeks and then you start adding foods in to see what you CAN eat.
Research all you can! You are your baby’s best advocate!

ok so.. today is day 19. new question, i think it is a healing situation maybe because sunday i ate a fresh peach and a steak. (going crazy on this ted) she seemed a little questionable as far as mood and dipe was more mucous than before (had a pretty seedy mucousy dipe prior) but gas didnt stink. she always has gas. then tue and wed she seemed ok but still had mucus, yesterday a few seeds mixed in. was weak again last night and had sparkling water with torani vanilla syrup AND (i know) an avocado. last night was rough 🙁 and this morning rank gas. so is last sunday catching up or did last night hit her that fast?

try to get back to seedy and see what it is you can eat that allows you/her to get back to seedy…

sounds like progress! I would stay away from beef (cow protein) until you get things more figured out…my guess is that the steak is what set things back…hang in there!

uhhh… kind of embarrased to admit. i ate pizza last night. i felt horrible and i know lo will too soon. seriously wasn’t worth it and i regret it. how long do you think it will take to get out of our systems??

a few days…maybe up to 2 weeks…but, if you’ve been very strict up until now, I’d say a week…

We learn from our mistakes. Don’t kick yourself! Pizza is a bad one for digestion. We don’t eat it too often. But when we do eat it sometimes we seem fine with it and sometimes we don’t. Does anyone know what it is in pizza that makes a stomach feel so sick?

hmm..the grease? if you’re not used to eating greasy food..and if you’re not used to eating acidic tomato sauce, etc

Maybe it is the tomato stuff because the pizzas I’ve had lately are chicken with a white sauce and they never seem to bother me. 🙂
