Shannon on Food Reintroduction Question

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:52:41 -0400

My son falls into the category of MSPI. I followed a very strict elimination diet until he reached approximately 9 months. In conjunction with our pediatrician's recommendations, I began to reintroduce beef, soy, and finally dairy products into my diet. My son remained asymptomatic . . . and i was thrilled! He is now rounding 12 months and so i proceeded to introduce dairy directly. A small percentage of cow milk mixed with his typical breastmilk bottle. He immediately vomited. Have any of you experienced MSPI past 12 months? If so, what did you choose to transition to?

our ped GI specialest recommends trying the baby yogurt first because of the beneficial flora that it contains. Our Adelaide isn't old enough to try yet but I tucked that bit of info away for later use.

A milkintolerance reader sent us the following email:

I'm a mom of an MSPI kid who just turned one. We're beginning reintroduction of dairy, and I wonder how other people have monitored their child's poops following reintroduction — just a visual inspection, or did you do guaiac cards (tests where you smear a sample on a card to detect trace amounts of blood)? Just curious how in-depth others have gone to monitor the reintroduction phase.

I've never heard of guaiac cards. We always did very careful visual inspections of our

childrens' diapers. We made sure to have good lighting, and we poke around in the stool, by rubbing the diaper together to spread apart mucous streaks.

What about other readers out there? How did you handle food reintroductions?
