Ok I did do the coconut milk ice cream part. Chocolate chip cookie dough. Delish.
Elias has had a lot of rashes building up this week, all on his face, and my food intolerances radar was sounding. When he started incessantly rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands I just had to take him in to be seen, and sure enough...eczema. Ug.
He just happened to fill his diaper while we were there so we tested his stool and it was positive for traces of blood, which means his gut isn't healthy. Ug.
So, here we go again.
But the positives that I promised you:
- It took a solid 5 weeks longer for him to show signs.
- His signs are more mild so far.
And the rest I'm not writing down for fear of it all going downhill because I've said it out loud. I'm not superstitious but it seems to never fail if I say something out loud, within a day it changes for the worse. Suffice it to say I see other positives.
Dairy is first to get the boot, and honestly, I couldn't care less. The diet doesn't intimidate me anymore. I've done it before and survived it and gotten really skinny because of it, so there's another positive for you. College jeans here I come!
What I can't stand is seeing my baby suffer. His pudgy little face is just covered in eczema and it's hot to the touch. That can not be comfortable. It makes me want to rip the rash off of their sweet skin every time. And it makes me want to cry when they cry because I know I've met all their needs and they are crying because they hurt.
Please say a prayer that it's just dairy and maybe soy...easy fix if that's it.
And if you hold my baby, please don't touch his face. 
Two days before his whole face broke out.
