The curious incident of the mashed potatoes at lunchtime

As we all know the zayd monster had dealt with more than his share of stomach problems. We had been breezing through the past 2 or 3 weeks enjoying everything but dairy products. Well, mommy has. The lentil still eats most of his food pureed. But in november I started sneaking in tofu and loving it!

Just after Thanksgiving, the manny had apparently started feeding mashed potatoes to Z-man. I didn't realize they had become a new favorite and the boys didn't realize the potatoes were chock full of whole milk and butter.

So, we waited. And nothing happened. We dealt with a touch more reflux that week but nothing horribleand NOTHING like what we endured during our allergy prime.

So, I vowed to have cheese on my birthday. Which turned into cheese most days, followed by cheesecake with Nani and uncle jon this weekend. Still nothing.

The storm has passed. I have started eating without regard to allergy-four full months prior to what I thought would be the end of our TED. I've stopped labeling the frozen milk with the 2-20 different restrictions I had avoided. I now start watching what I eats to avoid holiday weight gain, which is much easier to cope with than a screaming infant or bloody poops.

Here's the lentil enjoying cherries and post a sweet potato bonanza!
