Hello,
I have a 17 month old boy. The back story is that he was born at 29 weeks by c-section. We adopted him while he was still in the NICU and he always had some gastro issues (EFF). I suspect he may have had undiagnosed silent reflux.
Once he started solids he became especially gassy, waking up a lot with pain and gas. We have gotten his sensitivities somewhat under control.
We eliminated gluten and it has made a HUGE difference.
But, beans still seem to cause him gas, and he is on lactose-free milk or almond milk, because lactose seems to give him stomach pain.
We haven't figured out cheese yet, some seems ok, others dont.
So, the back story leads to my real question is, how do I know if he is getting enough protein? He does not like any meat or avocados. Beans seem to affect his tummy.
He eats some eggs, quinoa and peanut, almond, and sunflower butter.
Do I need to make sure he is getting one of these every day, or does he need less protein then I think.
Any other food ideas for him?
Thank You
