Hello All! (C/N at bottom)

I recently started eating similarly to Paleo without meaning to be going on a "Paleo" diet. In November, my then just over 2 month old son was diagnosed with food intolerances. "Food for a 2 month old?" you may be asking...not quite, his intolerances are to foods I eat and subsequent intact proteins he gets from me through breastmilk. Insane, I know. Sadly, this is apparently a somewhat common issue, lots of babies can't tolerate foods mom eats, but the most common foods that give babies troubles are dairy and soy. Go figure.

So the first steps for us were cutting dairy out of my diet and starting a food journal.

That helped, a lot. He improved most dramatically with that dietary change, however he still wasn't where he should have been.

Because about 50% of babies who are dairy intolerant are also soy intolerant, I cut that next. (and a few Top 8 also- nuts, peanuts, eggs, shellfish, fish, but not wheat-duh) It didn't seem to help. Next I decided to go to the straight total elimination diet. So for nearly a month I ate about 12 things -bison, duck, sweet potato, white potato, quinoa, oatmeal (helps with milk production), zucchini, yellow squash, pear, banana, coconut milk, olive oil, chamomile tea, maple syrup, and a shit-ton of potato chips (had to keep calories up to maintain milk supply). I fried everything I could, added onion back in very quickly so I didn't go totally insane.

He reached an almost baseline, I reached an almost depression, so I started trialing foods back in. That's when I found out he reacted to wheat, then corn. I kicked myself for not going top 8 earlier. He also reacts, altho not as strongly, to cruciferous veggies, and some other salad greens. Garlic gets him some, as does citrus. So those are out. Fish is ok, as are eggs (woot!). He's sensitive enough to dairy that he reacts to both casein and whey, so most processed meats are out (not that I ate much to begin with...Applegate farms is my savior for bacon)

He's eating some solids now, starting with the foods I ate which we knew he could tolerate, and doing pretty well. His favorite is, of course, meat.

So now I'm at this point, where I have probably a while left of breastfeeding (he's almost 8 months old, goal was 12 months, but we definitely won't be switching to other mammalian milk now so I'm on the hook a while longer), and I've run out of ideas of what I can eat.

so here's my question (haha long intro!) Help! any ideas on foods?

He seems to be getting less sensitive, if he reacts, the symptoms are MUCH more mild than they were, and I think that's due in part to the fact that his gut finally matured some and he's got a decent colony now so things are easier to handle.

Here's what I'm eating now that are generally ok with him - Zucchini, tomatoes, yellow squash, minimal green beans, bell pepper, potato, sweet potato, onion, fennel, rice and oatmeal (not strictly paleo, I know), avocado, banana, melon, apple, pear, berries, coconut milk, coconut oil, fish, beef, chicken (can't stand duck for a while), bison, chamomile, earl grey, and chai teas, basil, thyme, parsley, oregano, garam masala.

Any and all suggestions on foods to eat would be MUCH appreciated. Other than the greenbeans, I haven't trialed any other legumes, I also haven't trialed nuts back in. Those are on my list for the next foods to try. If those pass, then that opens a lot up for me.

Feeling kind of stuck with these foods, there's only so many ways you can rearrange the ingredients to make different meals

I've done a lot of research over the last 6 months and am astounded at how many moms are facing these same issues. It's really pretty sad.

Thanks!

C/N- My baby can't tolerate my breastmilk based on foods I eat - especially dairy, soy, wheat, cruciferous, salad greens. Looking for suggestions on foods so I don't go insane.

Edit: Carrots, parsnips, and celery are all ok, too. I also take an allergen-free prenatal vitamin as well as a prenatal DHA supplement.
