Ella has been extremely cranky lately and I tried the teething remedies, tylenol and everything but nothing has been working. When she was about 4-5 weeks old, she had unconsolable crying fits so someone suggested that maybe she was allergic to dairy in my breast milk so at 6 weeks, I gave up dairy and after 3 days, voila! she stopped crying. But she's always been a little fussy the whole time. being a new mom, i just attributed that to growth and baby stuff. But lately she's been screaming, like someone-is-poking-my-eyes-out screaming. It's deafening and hard to hear on all counts. So since it's not teething, it still is something in the breastmilk that is irritating her which also gives her diaper rash, that's a whole other issue. anyways, I have been giving up some allergens here and there but as of today, I am giving it all up! No dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, gluten, and fish. I gotta do it drastically so I know whats bothering her. after one week, if she is still cranky as hell, I'll eat normally again but if she's different even slightly, I'll adjust my diet accordingly. I plan on indroducing one item except dairy (cuz I know that bothers her) per week and see it theres any change.

So I went out today to Whole Foods and bought a few items that were free of all things even taste apparently cuz they all taste like crap which you would think should be fat free as well but no, they have plenty fat. Fat should always taste good!!
But it was so nice having a Gluten-free section to browse through. I now need to go to the fruit market and just stock up on fruits. Since a lot of veggies causes gas, I'm kinda not eating a lot of veggies as well until I do some more research on which veggies are ok. I also have to research gluten free foods cuz it shouldn't taste this bad. I know there are thousands of people that are allergic to Gluten and I'm sure they know how to eat well so I just have to spend a little time doing all the googling that I can. now, if I just had more time...
