Even though blood tests came back negative, that doesn’t necessarily mean your LO doesn’t have any allergies. At such a young age it’s hard to get accurate results from the blood test. Also, your LO may still have food intolerances. Meaning you would still need to try the TED to find out what foods she’s intolerable to. Good Luck!

page 2 of the ‘main’ MSPI/allergy page (it’s stickied) has THE BEST explanation about allergies and intolerances

Yep, I agree w/ Amber… just b/c the blood test ruled out allergies (for now) does NOT mean that TED wouldn’t help your db. Sorry, I know you probably don’t want to hear that.

I have a question my daughter is 7 weeks old and when she eats her tummy makes funny bubbling sounds. She has acid reflux but is not on any meds yet. Do they really work well. will my baby stop crying at night and go to sleep with no problem she breast feeds and fromula feeds. I just started to use colic clam but before she would not eat at all because every time she would nurse she would pull away and start to cry her face would turn red and she would gasp for air. She would still look hungrey and would cry because she was hungrey but could not eat. I was just nursing but stoped because I thought I was the problem. I started fromula enfamil nurtiguema sp. Does any know why it seems as some days she spits up more than others or seems more uncomfortable than other days. It worries me sometimes I think its because of what I ate the day before can that be please let me know. Also she grunts alot is that normal for a baby to grunt. Her nose always sounds stuffy amd her thoart sounds raspy she smakes her lips as if she has dry mouth I noticed that she has alot of silivia in her mouth to. When I took her to the doctors they check her out and say there is no problem with her. I can tell something is wrong but don’t know what to do. Can any one tell me anything or help thanks leticia.

leticia, if you can I’d try to get back to breastfeeding, if that’s what you want of course! Please please read here:

I would also read up about TED https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=43

this is a diet that essentially makes your milk like a formula that is very very broken down and safe for babies with allergies or intolerances to milk and/or soy.

there’s a lot to read

grunting & congestion are big red flags that it’s something in your diet that is affecting your baby- don’t worry! there’s hope!

you also might want to post your own topic so that this will be seen by everyone…this post was started by momof3angels and has been ‘about’ helping her…but OF COURSE WE ALL WANT TO HELP YOU!!!!! I have to dash off to work but if anyone wants to post how to start a new topic, etc, that would be great! THANKS!

see you on another post
