My DD has multiple food intolerances (most veggies, alot of fruits, rice, all nuts and seeds, coconut, oats, etc). We only recently really got a handle on the extent of it. Before that, for the first 12 months of her life, she was basically having one long bad reaction, inspite of my very restricted diet. The restricted diet I was on (all the biggies, no dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, eggs, corn) took us from crisis (horrible colic, ezcema, major nervous system reactions like constant startling out of sleep, hyper sound sensitivity, etc., bad digestion) to a little less than crisis. Her hours of inconsolable crying and ezcema went away, but she still woke up every hour at night, sleep less than other babies her age and startled and was sound sensitive (really bad, like became fully awake at the SLIGHTEST noise). I thought it was just how she was. Things got worse again when she began eating solids at 10 months, and thankfully, All this changed once we got the IGG blood test and cut out the bad foods. Now her ezcema (which covered her face, hands, arms, torso) is gone, her digestive pain is gone and she sleeps 5-7 hour stretches at night and isn't as prone to hypersensitivities.

The thing is, she doesn't eat alot of solids. Very little, in fact. Like only breakfast cereal (which is quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and millet), apples, pears, rye crackers, and kamut puffs. Occasionally she'll nibble on something else, but that's like 1-2 a week. She's 14 months old. Should I be worried? Her diet is very restricted, but she rejects alot of things she can safely eat. Not sure what to do...
