Carrie is missing Dairy

At around 4 months Ephraim developed what we thought was Eczema on his little face, chest and belly. We kept trying different creams and lotions to heal it with no avail. Finally last week Ephraim, Truitt and I made a trip out to Colorado to visit my family. There we took him to see a Dr. who specializes in natural medicine and food allergies. We found out that Ephraim is allergic to oats, bakers yeast, pecans, almonds and is lactose intolerant. Therefore, because I'm nursing I can not eat any of these items. I have been off of them for a few days now and his face looks as though it is starting to clear up. It is a little overwhelming at first to cut all those things out of one's diet. Especially if you are addicted to dairy like I am. Milk, butter, sour cream, cheese I love them all! If it makes his stomach feel better and his face to stop itching then it's all worth it. So at least for the next 6 months, it's lactose-free milk, goat cheese, and making my own bread. I hope this all works to make him feel better.
