Do you guys have any recommendations for some DF protein powder? I have a soy allergy. I also have intolerances to peanuts, oat, and egg. I know that probably limits my options, hoping yall have a good recommendation for something that isn’t too grainy or gross tasting!
I’ve been trying to stick with meats as my protein source but I need something for breakfast that isn’t bacon or sausage (or eggs).
TIA!!
This is the ingredient label for the new twisted churros at Costco.
I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The filling definitely elevates the pop tarts and the texture of the pop tart is gooey and sweet. I'm not a big chocolate fan and disliked the other flavors that aren't chocolate chip but this one is really good. 6.5/10 would recommend.
Does anyone else experience psychiatric symptoms from consuming dairy? I've been avoiding dairy for the most part, but not completely. I am highly reactive to dairy proteins in the IgG tests, but I am not allergic. After recently reading about the controversies about IgG testing, I decided to do a trial of consuming two glasses of milk per day, on top of my usual rate of consumption due to lack of calcium in my diet, and holyy.. by the 3rd day I was hit hard with DEEP depression, ADD symptoms, and fatigue I haven't felt in such a long time. In hindsight, the symptoms began on the second day, but got much worse on day 3 and 4, to the point where it became really concerning. It really snuck up, but hit me like a freight train. Right now I am enduring it, but man it's insane how much it sucks right now. The depression and fatigue is so strong and unrelenting. I will go 100% dairy free from now on.
Can I get some feedback on introducing whole milk to my 12-month-old to gauge if this experience is normal or if there is a suspected allergy/intolerance?
When my son was an infant, he was suspected CMPA, although we didn't go through any blood testing. I cut out dairy completely from my diet, and he did well. I followed the dairy ladder for reintroduction, and he also did well. Our last step was introducing whole milk, which we've done this week.
He has been getting 5-6 oz of whole milk a day mixed in with 10oz of breastmilk in his bottles. He is also nursing 1-2 times per day, getting an additional estimated 5-10 oz total, for roughly 20-30 oz of milk. He also eats 3 meals and has 1-2 snacks a day.
Since introducing the whole milk, he's been quite a bit more fussy, only finding comfort being held or drinking/eating during the day, and is struggling at nighttime with frequent wakings, being uncomfortable, and being awake from 1-2:30 am. He has been pooping 4+ times per day, and it's been looser stools and not as digested. This has also caused a bit of reddness/diaper rash.
I haven't noticed increased gas, a distended stomach, or blood in his stool.
He wakes up at 6:00 am, has two naps (9-10:30 am and 1:30-3:00 pm), and goes to bed at 7:30 pm.
My milk supply and freezer stash are going down. I need to supplement my breastmilk with some form of milk.
I find it hard to believe that all of these symptoms are from a regression/teething/sickness since they just started when introducing whole milk.
I went last week and they didn't even have a spot for it anymore :(
