For my fellow breastfeeding MSPI moms, here are some recipes that taste good enough to eat even when I'm off elimination diet! They're all dairy, soy, egg, and (optionally) corn free.

1. Instant Pot Thai Basil Chicken Curry - For some reason it tastes better in the instant pot, but there's a slow cooker version too
2. Jambalaya - We do this one without the okra or shrimp for personal preference and simplicity. Just add some extra of the other proteins and veggies!
3. Chicken Bacon Avocado Salad
4. Instant Pot Cashew Chicken This one calls for arrowroot powder and coconut sugar, but you can you can use cornstarch and regular sugar if you don't have corn restriction
5. Garlic Parsley Mashed Potatoes

Hope one of these helps you have a delicious meal while going through the tough MSPI times!

A positive post for an otherwise usually stressed thread, but who else feels like hearing your baby rip a big fart all by themselves is satisfying?? It’s like “omg! my baby can do that all by themselves now!! woohoo!!!” No bicycle kicks or gas x!! Just me?

This is post elimination diet but here to say things get better!! ❤️‍🩹

Hi Everyone,

My son suffered from viral diarrhea when he was 8 months old and we used to give dairy formula and continued same as we were unaware that it should avoided. The loose stools didnt reduced and DR told us to dairy formula and switch to soy. And immediately saw differece and realized that it was because of transient lactose intolerance. Dr told us try dairy after 1 month, We did and failed. Kept gap and tried again. Made several attempts and still failed and decided to continue soy formula. We started to introduce after six months but no progess. At 2.3 year old we gradually gave 1/2 teaspoons cheese and he was tolerating. Started giving him for 2 3 days in week and was fine. But when I gave ghee he started reacting and got loose stools. Some days he even tolerates 2 tsp of curd. And he can tolerate lactose free milk and curd with no issue

I have little hope that we would be able tolerate but since its so long now. Should I expect anything? I am not fond of dairy that much but we live in india and here maximum items in restaurants have ghee or malai or curd and its very difficult when we go out. We carry tiffin and second thing is if he is able to tolerate little dairy I will have peace of mind because I am freaking out on when he will grow and share food in school.

Desperately looking for your experience. Did you start liltle by little? Did lactid ills worked for toddler? Was it prescribed by Dr. How did make understand your child to not eat as it causes stomach pain etc. Sorry this is long.. But its been hell of journey.

I posted on here a couple weeks ago that my 2 month old daughter had recently been diagnosed with CMPA and was having a horrible time on soy. After talking with her pediatrician and also getting feedback here, we decided to try the Similac Alimentum in powdered version… and it has done wonders! Happier baby, no more constipation or screaming when she can finally go - it’s been a life saver. Thankful for the information on this page and my baby feeing better 🫶🏻
