i'm off dairy. anna was throwing up, had lots of mucusy green poop (TMI, i know, but it's a sign of dairy issues) and was generally unhappy a couple of weeks ago, right after a weekend when i had had lots of milk, cheese, and ice cream. she started feeling better by that tuesday, but that wednesday she had milk that i had pumped on monday, and got sick again. so that was that.
i told dr. cao about the reactions. he agreed that she probably didn't have a milk protein allergy (though it's still a possibility) but that she seemed to definitely be lactose intolerant, at the very least. so i am on soy milk for cereal and coffee, not eating cheese or ice cream or creamy cakes, and trying my best to stay away from other things like chocolate that may contain milk. she's definitely doing better -- spitting up less in general, more yellow poop instead of green (good!), and in a better mood. it's better for my diet too -- i can't give into temptation! but of course, this is a very difficult diet plan to follow, so i am only doing it as long as i have to. =\
