intolerance hope

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
first a little background: DD was born instantly intolerant to the 8 common allergies + a few more....and STILL had blood. no matter what i seemed to do she was in pain....she would scream bloody murder 2+ hours a day until about 7 m/o...seriously...things seemed to get better once i eliminated absolutely everything and basically only ate veggies...yet she STILL had blood in her stool. They were about to literally do a colonoscopy and endoscopy...i told them i just could not knock my daughter out and i would just further limit my diet...(obvs she's breastfed)

anyways now for the good news:

this can not even be real right now!!!! I AM OVERWHELMED WITH JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

you know how they say babies just grow out of intolerances at the 1 year mark? of course i did not believe them but guess what she grew out of her intolerances!!!!

we currently have NO BLOOD IN HER STOOL period none at all!!!! what i have re-introduced so far (minimally) beef, wheat, gluten, fish, shellfish, egg and soy! what we have left: corn, strawberries, dairy

but seriously i ate a bacon hamburger for lunch with fries today and no diarrhea no blood no pain nothing!!!

i am in such shock i really thought the drs were absolutely insane when they said something happens at the year mark and it just goes away...im like yeah ok thats a load of you know what! i figured maybe by 3 if we were lucky... but nope we are looking wonderful over here!!

i cried complete tears of joy for the first time in a long time i know my baby is safe and not in pain for once in her whole life!!!

Congratulations Mamma!! I would still take it slow adding stuff back in, but that's wonderful that you're having such great success.....some of us are not that fortunate, but reading this...it gives me hope for my son (who is already 2) that eventually he may outgrow some of his intolerances. Enjoy the bliss of eating again!!!

i am taking it slow dont worry i have still been waiting for the blood and screaming...nothing so far!

my sympathy on you're son i know a lot of kids dont outgrow it which is exactly what i figured we would be going through. i just kept praying and it was weird like i really noticed the difference before i started adding anything in...

idk but i am soooooo happy!!
