Introduction	I was blessed with a gorgeous baby boy on August 28, 2008. I knew he would have a problem with milk and soy proteins prior to his birth, and since I planned on nursing, I had been avoiding any food containing milk or soy proteins for the 4 weeks before he was born. However, when he was 4 1/2 weeks old, he cried a LOT, had weird mucousy poops and seemed in constant pain. Our doctor advised us that he was intolerant of something else in my diet, so I began the Total Elimination Diet (TED) journey. This blog is about my journey in adding in new foods to my limited diet, seeing how Noah reacts, and finding recipes that will help make eating hardly anything more interesting. Currently I am avoiding all MEAT, DAIRY, SOY, CORN, CORN SYRUP and EGGS. Hopefully this blog will also serve as a resource to other moms going through the TED as well. View the "My Food Journey" entries for my updates along the way. It's a gift we are giving our babies! Being on the TED is one of the hardest things I've done, but I would do it all over again for my Noah. Good luck to all of you!!!
