We have been on a mission to find out what is giving Daphnee so much tummy trouble, so I am going to exclude dairy from my diet. I went off dairy for two weeks already and it seemed to help a little. She still had some gas and wasn't the best eater, but it seemed to take away her screaming fits and really hurtful gas episodes. When I added dairy back into my diet it was a horrible week.
So if it gives her any relief at all or helps me with my patience then I am willing to try it again. When I first thought about doing a no dairy diet I immediately thought, "No milk, cheese, or yogurt...Not a problem." As I began to think about it more I realized no butter, sour cream, or ice cream.
My wonderful supportive husband decided to make me breakfast my first morning and he was surprised when I told him that I could not eat the pancakes he had made me. There was buttermilk in our pancake mix and we had butter flavored syrup. That was my wake up call that I HAD to read labels. So, we add bread, salad dressings, and many other things to my "didn't realize they had dairy in them" list of foods I can't eat.
I know I can make my own bread and I could buy Almond milk for my cereal, but I would love for you to help me out with some other meal ideas I could make that are dairy free. You don't have to go search dairy free meals (like I have been doing), but if you cook something for you family for dinner that is dairy free then think of me and let me know what it was. Leave a comment, shoot me an email, or even facebook message. All recipes, tips, or ideas are welcomed!!! Thanks!!

Stink...no dairy sounds sooo hard. I'm going to do some research so that when we get back we can have a King's feast fit to your needs : ) a couple more weeks and we'll be back.
Oh man! A strict no dairy diet would be rough! But if it beats an upset baby then ok. I remember when I figured out Calin's "hate" food, and life was SO much better after that! So I sure hope this works out and Daphnee is much happier now!!
I'm glad Jordan's looking into and planning out our feast once we are reunited again in a few weeks! Yay! I can't wait to meet that cute little gal of yours!
