Well, I have been on this Cow's Milk Elimination Diet for 42 days. That means I have not had chocolate, ice cream, cake, and much more. And for me, that is unimaginable. Abby's doctor has gone from her having a bad case of reflux to she maybe allergic to cow's milk. So, that means no dairy, whey or casein. But, I have heard "the things you do for your kids..." more times than I can count. I believe it! For me, going without foods I love has not been easy. Brent and I saw a change a couple of days after I went on the diet. We have had ups and downs, but we are on an up streak now. Abby is sleeping better during the day and most importantly, at night. Her average night now is 10:30pm-4:00am. Sometimes shorter and sometimes longer. Well, I might be crazy, but today I am experimenting. I gave Abby milk from before I went on the diet to see how she reacts. Through 2 feedings, I have not seen a change in her mood. Maybe she is not allergic to cow's milk afterall. I know I am getting ahead of myself, but I will have to wait and see for a couple more days of experimenting.
