I started becoming a little dairy intolerant with a previous pregnancy that didn’t go to term. So I couldn’t have bowls of cereal with a latte but I could have chocolate, yogurt and cheese fine.
Fast forward 6 years and during weaning of ebf second child who had severe eczema for first 5 months (so much so she always had blood and scratches on her face), I realised she was dairy intolerant when she had reaction to yogurt. I cut out dairy from my diet and her eczema completely disappeared! She was suddenly a happy baby who I could take a nice photo of all of a sudden.
She self weaned at a year. After 7 months of no dairy, including a Christmas without any cheese or choc or pastry or any hidden dairy, I was really looking forward to milk chocolate. The week I stopped breastfeeding I didn’t go nuts but had a little chocolate at work. Had such a severely uncomfortable bloated stomach and pains and couldn’t do my work properly.
Over the week I tried to have a little dairy here and there but I’ve had to go back to being completely dairy free again. Basically I’m now vegan food with a bit of eggs and meat only again. I’m so sad about that but the pain is just not worth it.
Has this happened to anyone else? Did you ever recover?
