Intro/Reflux

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I'm new here and I wanted to do a quick intro and ask a question.

 

We are a family of 3 from Austin, TX. Our son Zaya is 4 months old, home-born,

exclusively breastfed, hopefully vegetarian to be. It's up for him to decide. My

husband is

a vegertarian (lacto ovo) and I used to be a vegetarian before I got pregnant,

but couldn't

maintain a healthy diet without eating meat once I got pregnant. I was so hungry

all the

time and too tired to cook anything. And I'm not the one who lives on pastas and

frozen

dinners.

 

Anyway, I have a couple of questions.

Zaya has got an awful reflux (silent, doesn't spit up much, but is in a lot of

pain from acid),

so far we've tried everything to try to fix it. From the basics (proper

positioning, burping

etc) to the more obscure like chiropractic and cranio-sacral adjustments and

many in

between. Of course I've tried the elim diet - eating nothing but chicken, rice

and veggies

for a few weeks to eliminate any kind of food sensitivities. So far it hadn't

made a tiniest

bit of difference. I was wondering if there any babies out there who are/were

breasfed by

veg moms and still had reflux?

I would be willing to go back to the veg diet at this point, but I just have no

idea what I

would eat and where I would ever get my protein from. I try to stay away from

dairy and

gluten, beans make him gassy (even properly soaked and prepared), I don't eat

soy or soy

products or anything processed/fake/packaged/frozen. That leaves me with fruits,

veggies, nuts, mushrooms, some grains like rice and buckwheat etc. What else???

Any

suggestions??? Can you sustain a baby on diet like that?

 

Thanks,

Elena
