I just keep coming back to food allergies as reasons for my dd's problems. I've been posting about them here and there for 3 years. It seems they come and go.
A little history: As a nursing baby she frequently had projectile vomiting. She has always been very moody and a poor sleeper. She still gets up in the night, comes into our bed and is very restless. Her fuse is very short. At around a year we took her to a chiro, who did muscle testing on her through me to check for allergies. I basically held her and he put something on her tongue and then had me push on his hands, not sure if it really works. Anyway, he said she was allergic to dairy and sugar. We tried to cut them out, but she was on formula at that time and found it very difficult and didn't stick with it.
Fast forward to now....dd has terrible constipation. Like crying on the toliet, large (we are talking adult size) stools, streaked with blood. They are always hard and pebbly. I have to admit, we give her waaaaay to much milk. It's what she fills up on most of the time. She weighs about 27lbs and is really little still. She also still remains moody and restless/poor sleeper.
Should we go back to cutting out the milk and sugar? Should we have different testing done now that she is bigger? Maybe try raw milk? I don't know. Maybe it's just more of a fiber thing?
TIA
