So, ds has been doing awesome. It seemed like we'd figured out all the foods to avoid. Then, last night we were out at dinner time, so I ordered a plain chicken breast at a restaurant. They told us it was plain. I really shouldn't have eaten it, because when I tasted it, I could tell it had been seasoned somehow, probably marinated or something. Last night, ds spit up at about 10pm. It was just after he nursed and what came up was thin and milky. So, I wasn't sure if it was related to food or if it was just a fluke (however, since we've been allergen free, he's spit up maybe twice).
Anyway, today, I ate some Applegate hot dogs (yes, breakfast of champions), since I didn't have any meat defrosted and I was starving. This was about 10:00am. Then, in the afternoon, he started spitting up more frequently. Globby and white. He's done it about 4 times now, plus he's burping a lot and has gas. An hour ago, he pooped a glob of mucus.
Sooooo, what was it? The seasoning in the chicken? Chicken in general (the hotdogs were chicken)? I read the package of hot dogs and I even called the company a few weeks ago and they said the sodium lactate was from beets. But I just looked online and the ingredients list both sodium lactate from beets AND lactic acid starter culture "not from milk." So, it's probably corn, right? But I swear, I ate the applegate beef hotdogs last week at a cook-out and ds had no problem. And I've eaten chicken before without any problems. (Please, please don't be chicken!)
I hate these food mysteries
: Oh, and to complicate matters, tonight was the night I was going to trial lentils (ds reacts to chickpeas and black beans, but not peas, hence the lentil trial). I made the soup earlier in the day and I didn't have anything else to eat, so I went ahead and ate it, but with all this puking, I won't be able to tell what's going on. Grrrrr.
If you want to take a stab at solving the mystery, I'm all ears.

I'm going to vote for the restaurant chicken. Who knows what was in it- maybe it was marinated or injected with something and then frozen and shipped to them. So then they say it's 'plain' because they didn't add anything, kwim?
(I didn't mean that to sound sarcastic, just REALLY positive thinking). It is not high on the "likely scale" that he is having trouble with regular chicken. Applegate Farms really is dairy free so I wouldn't worry about that. Hopefully his belly gets better quickly and you can get a good lentil trial in.
