I've been in the program for almost 4 weeks, now, and it seems that the food is giving my little guy the runs. Anyone else had this happen? When I stop eating the food he is fine, but when I start again it comes right back.

Hi,
I noticed when I first started the program, my son was way more gassy than normal. but I attribute that more to the extra veggies I'm eating now. My doctor told me not to take the MultiPlus until I've stopped breastfeeding, though, because it has chromium in it. Are you taking it? Maybe that is making your baby sick.
How are you doing with the program? I've lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks, so I'm pretty happy!

just a thought: JC food has A LOT of soy in it. A lot of little babies have problems with soy. Even if I eat the cereal with soy I get more gassy than usual.

I started JC about 2.5 wks ago and by the third day, my 3 month old baby was very fussy at the breast and extra gassy. I knew right away that it had to do with my new diet. I was so bummed b/c I really wanted to do JC.
So, I looked into it and here's what I found out: the most likely culprit is an increase in my dairy intake. Which makes 100% sense because my first daughter does not tolerate dairy well at all. Look on kellymom.com for more info about diet and nursing.
But, from what I understand, dairy is the number one thing that babies are sensitive to in their mothers milk. Soy is a distant second. Also, just to be clear: it is not the lactose!! It is the dairy protein itself.
My solution has been to only take in about 1/2 cup or so milk per day. Then I subsitute lean meat or soy milk for the remainder of the milk.
Good luck.

My 3 1/2 month old has been really gassy, too. I've decided to try decreasing my dairy intake and just take a calcium supplement instead. I really hope that this works bec. If it doesn't I will have to pause on my JC until she weans.

I BF until baby boy was 14 months. I was not on the JC food then but ate more whole foods and didnt have any issues. I would stop the process foods until i was done BF. BF is so good for the baby and congrats to all the moms who are sticking to it!! Good luck!!
