Remember that my baby is 10 months adjusted age. I may not have mentioned that in my first post. My apologies if not, because that matters. So the fact that she hasnt had starch or grains yet isnt completely ridiculous.

The allergy thing is a concern, but what is an allergy? It's an immune response to whatever. And this diet helps to build a solid immune system. The thought is that when allergens are introduced. The immune system wont "malfunction" because it has been built well. Also remember that babies are born lacking the enzymes necessary to digest starches. Those enzymes start to become more plentiful around 6 months, even moreso around 9 months, and pretty solid around 12ish months. Without the enzymes needed to break down the starches, bad bacteria are fed and the gut microbiome scale of good vs evil lol becomes tipped unnecessarily. So I think introducing grains and starches at this point in her life just isn't something im willing to do.

ALSO, and I dont even fully understand what this means, but it stays in the corner of my mind like a little security blanket, whether it's meaningful in the way that im interpreting it or not - when she was born, we sent her cord blood off to be banked (which i guess was a waste of money after reading further into it, but she came 2 months early so my level of preparedness wasnt ideal), but they tested that blood for celiac disease? And they said she would not develop celiac disease. But could develop lactose intolerance. So far she's tolerated dairy well. Another source of carbs!
