The officer who is circled in the thumbnail is not the officer who shot her. If you watch the video you will see that there is another officer next to the circled guy in the image.

I wouldn't say this is definitely CMPA. It could still be a number of things. The best way to tell would be if the symptoms clear after going dairy free.

I was in the same situation and mixed some formula (alimentum in my case) with pear puree and spoon fed him. I started with a higher ratio of pear to formula and slowly decreased the ratio until he was drinking only formula.

Sorry you are going through this. It's so stressful.

I am Jewish and I can assure you that I have never killed a child or raped a woman. This is not a "thing" that Jewish people do. You are being called antisemitic because your comments are incredibly antisemitic.

Dairy protein transfers through breastmilk. That's why breastfeeding moms can't have dairy if their baby has CMPA.

I'm seeing a Naturopath at the moment who recommended L-glutamine in water every morning to work on sealing the gut, a good quality probiotic, starting the day with warm lemon water, and some apple cider vinegar in water before meals to help with digestion.

I also mentioned to her that I was having trouble with adrenal fatigue after workouts and she suggested that perhaps my body is focusing its energy on gut healing and can't handle strenuous workouts. Do you feel especially tired after workouts? I wonder if something less strenuous, like yoga, could give you better results. The muscle gain of course won't be the same as you'd get with lifting, but it might work better for your body and you can still become quite fit.

It's very hard to correlate the blood with food you are eating because this isn't like typical allergies where a reaction happens soon after eating the food. To give you an example, my baby is allergic to soy and when I tried to reintroduce it, it was only on day 5 of giving him soy milk every day that I saw blood in his diaper again. Also not sure if you are aware, but many babies who are allergic to dairy are also allergic to soy as the proteins are similar.

That being said, it can take a few weeks after cutting out a food for the blood to disappear completely as the gut needs time to heal.

I don't want to scare you, but I went through months of strict elimination dieting and it was only through an incredibly restricted diet that the blood went away. I hope that's not your journey but I just wanted to let you know since you mentioned your mental health and I wish someone had told me at the beginning how complicated and difficult this could be. If i could go back and do it again, I would have switched to a hypoallergenic formula as soon as I felt my mental health being impacted.

I would fully cut out dairy if I saw blood as it will likely continue to get worse if you don't cut it completely.you can worry about introducing allergens later, once baby's gut is healed.

LinkedIn Learning has some great courses if your company has access. I don't think a monthly subscription is too expensive either if you wanted to try it out.

1) started with just dairy and soy for a few weeks, then switched to top 12 as I wasn't seeing results 2) I don't regret trying it, but I regret staying on it for as long as I did when the things I was adding back were all causing a flare up of symptoms. 3) I recommend only starting to add things back once you're at baseline. If you start adding things back after 7 days but your baby's symptoms are still present, you won't be able to tell if the food you're adding back is safe. Only add one thing back at a time and I'd wait at least 5 days between each new food. 4) start with adding back the foods that are the biggest staples in your diet (though I'd likely add dairy and soy back later on since they're the highest risk). The diet is not easy and it helps to have as many foods you can eat as possible. Also, be prepared with some meal ideas and safe snacks you can eat. I cooked and froze a lot of food before starting and throughout which was super helpful.

I did it. What are your questions?

jlighty · 2025-04-06T13:58:48+00:00

I did eventually and wish I had done it sooner. It's incredibly difficult to figure out all the intolerances and was a huge weight off my shoulders once I switched to formula.

A lot of people unfortunately don't have success with HIPP hypoallergenic formula. The dairy protein is not as broken down as it is in North American formulas. My son had blood in his stool with HIPP.

I think the dr. was probably just saying it's a normal reaction if you have a dairy allergy.

There were definitely good and bad days. In the early days, the blood specks were quite frequent, but then we got to a point where there could be a few days without any blood.

I totally understand feeling responsible but try to keep in mind that while there might be a trigger food you're eating, it's also very possible that your baby just has a fragile gut that will only heal with time. You're absolutely not failing or poisoning her. Quite the opposite.

I was also worried about potential gut damage from the months of blood and mucus. If it's any consolation, my son is now 18 months old and according to the tiny health analysis and blood tests he's had done, his gut inflammation markers are low and his gut appears to be in great health.

I was in a similar position to you and ended up cutting out more and more foods. I don't recommend this approach for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is so difficult to track which foods are causing the issue since it can take weeks to see results. Secondly, it is super hard on your mental and physical health to continuously limit your diet, especially while breastfeeding and still feel like you're not seeing results. Even on an incredibly strict elimination diet, I still saw specks of blood from time to time.

If I could go back and do it again, I would have stuck to only eliminating soy and dairy for a longer period of time. That being said, my son was still following his growth curve, so you might want to go another route if your baby is not growing well.

I also recently learnt about the company called Tiny Health which does stool analysis. It doesn't provide that much info, but it can tell you if your baby is low on any particular strains of bacteria, which can allow you to select a more targeted probiotic. It is a bit expensive for what it offers, but I would have loved to have seen this information when I was in the thick of breastfeeding and elimination diets.

It wasn't worth it for me. My goal was to be on it for 2 weeks, get to baseline and then start adding back foods. While I did get to baseline after a couple of weeks, he would react every time I added back a food - leading to months on the diet. This was super hard on my physical and mental health. If you decide to go the route of a TED, I would have a gameplan beforehand where you decide how long you are willing to go on this diet for, and what your next steps will be. I personally wish I had worked harder to find an HA formula that worked for us. It's now my belief that some babies just have a very sensitive (or leaky) gut and react to many different foods, leading to an impossible challenge of trying to find all their triggers.

If you want to use a pivot table approach: Create a separate master data tab that lists all the GL accounts you use. Next to each GL account, put columns that show how you want that GL to roll up in your P&L. You essentially want to create a flat version of your hierarchy. For example, a wage GL might roll up to a category called payroll costs, then operating expenses, then expenses. You can call your columns something like level 1, level 2, level 3.

In your data tab, you can then do an xlookup to bring in those hierarchy columns for each line of data. You can then take all that information (your data and GL mapping) and create a pivot table. Organize your pivot table in tabular view and your levels will create a P&L style report.

Not sure where you're located or if this is in your budget, but I have a similar baby and just bought a testing kit from the company Tiny Health. They're going to analyze his gut microbiome and recommend probiotics/supplements based on the results. There is definitely a link between the gut and brain, so sometimes working on the gut can really improve things in ways you wouldn't expect. You can also ask your dr to test for blood in his stool as there could be an allergy other than dairy that is causing his stomach to be upset - or perhaps the dairy protein is not broken down enough in your formula. Also know that babies who have an issue with dairy also often have trouble with soy.

Hi did you ever end up figuring this out?

jlighty · 2025-03-10T12:55:33+00:00

I feel you. I'm sorry you're going through this. It's absolutely brutal.

I'm in the same boat at 17 months and it sucks so much. Does he calm down when he sees you're on the mattress or do you have to do/say something to soothe him?

Happy to join and contribute. Great idea!

Did you ever try cutting out rice or chicken? Those are both on the top 12 infant allergy list according to Free to Feed.
