Dairy-Free

I just started a Dairy-Free diet. I'm going on day 5. OK so I probably should have gone dairy-free along time ago. I am lactose intolerant. I have always either taken a pill or had lactose free milk and cheese. I actually cheated quiet a bit but the only one it affected was me. Now it affects my daughter.

Addison was a very happy baby the first month. Wide eyed and smiles all the time. At about 4 weeks she started this angry cry and would scrunch herself into a ball. It seemed like she was in pain. She has always spit up a little but it got much worse and so did her BM. So I did lots of research and decided to try cutting out dairy. So far it seems to be helping I think. I need to give it more time to be sure. Oh how I miss chocolate, cheese, and many other things. I just hope she doesn't have a problem with soy. I had too much soy one day and it made me sick and her too. Other then that it is going well. Some of my favorite things I have found are Earth's Balance and So Delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. Also we made an amazing creamy lemon parsley sauce with rice milk.





Hopefully this goes well and makes a difference for Addi.
