Cooper has developed very bad excema and the doc has advised that maybe a change of my diet will help as I'm still exclusively bfeeding and don't want to give up. (we've already been down the creams, washing powder, natural fibres route!)

He has suggested going dairy free first, then wheat free. If they don't seem to help I'm to cut out eggs, fish, soy and nuts.

When asked what I should eat he replied "lettuce" with a little giggle

I would love to know if anyone out there has done this and had some success?

Also, it may seem obvious, but what do people actually eat when they are dairy and wheat free? I only started it today and was stumped at breakfast time!!! I normally have toast or cereal!

I will try and find some of our old threads to bump for you. I did it with Hannah and am doing it know - helped Hannahs eczema, but didnt totally go away (in hindsight I think it was the nut and egg products in my diet which she is also allergic to).

let me help you out since you have offered the help of your two dogs for me

Firstly I personally would be very careful going dairy free, it may help with excema but there are alot of good fats in dairy that you (and your own milk) will loose. Jeremy stopped putting on weight when I went dairy free, who knows if this was why, but I am sure it didn't help.

Anyway after that 2 cents from me.

I have porridge for breakie with honey to sweeten and some fruit. Milk you can go wither soy or rice.
Bread, vogels put out a rice and rye bread.
Rice crackers, rice thins etc.
Nuts and seeds to fill you up.
Oils and dairy free spreeds instead of butter

oh and if you have to cut out all that was suggested to you, at least you will be able to walk the caatwalks soon cos you won't be eatting a thing!!!

Do a google search for wheat free dairy free diets, there is heaps of info there for you to find.

goos luck and happy eatting

The vogels bread sounds good, I was a bit worried there not having my toast!!

I can see myself eating loads of protien (already this morning I've had both chicken and ham - we had christmas on Saturday - leftovers!)

So on my shopping list I have:
rice milk (for my cuppa tea!)
vogels rice and rye bread
rice crackers
nuts
sushi rice (I'm going to attempt to make my own!)
fruit and veg

Doesn't look like it normally does! (chippies, biscuits, chocolate, cheese, sour cream etc etc etc!!!)

Thanks for the help so far ladies, much appreciated!

HAve bumped a few old threads for you (some in food section, general and first baby...) If you end up having to exclude more than one major thing from your diet it would pay to speak with a dietician.

I am currently dairy, egg, nut free and will be until I stop bfing the new baby! I generally either have toast with marg or cereal and fruit (lots of juice!) for breakky. Trying to like soy milk but having a few probs there! My current goal is one glass a day of Vanilla soy milk. I am also taking probiotics and calcium supplements. I have one glass of OJ a day that has added calcium. We also eat a lot of brocolli and I bake as I cant have many biscuits/crackers (substitute with soy or rice milk, and dairy free marg).

Here is a list of ingredients that meandairy   Also have a look act against allergy

I would just try dairy free first for a week or so to see if it helps, then go wheat. That way you can eliminate foods one by one.

If you do just go dairy first....
- ready salted chippies are dairy free
- biscuits that are dairy free - nice biscuits, arnotts hundreds and thousands, gingernut fingers, theres a couple of others but cant think right now!
- chocolate - Whittakers dark chocs are dairy free (bittersweet and dark ghana), pams choco chips, and theres another brand of choc as well but cant think of that either! It is just starting to come into some supermarkets.

Cheese is the only thing I really miss, but starting to used to it again.
