How Long For Baby To Start Gaining Weight?

HI - My 7 week old had been doing great up until 3 weeks ago. She is fully breastfed and had been putting on 6 oz per week but then 3 weeks ago this slowed to 3 oz per week and her bowel movements were green and mucousy. Initially I put this down to the fact that I'd eaten broccolli or some other green vegetable but I cut these out and the bm's were the same. Given that she feeds well and frequently, I now think its a gluten/wheat intolerance. I cut gluten/wheat/dairy/soy/nuts out of my diet for the past three days and her bms have returned to the normal yellow colour today. Her form has been good throughout and she does not seem to be in any pain etc. I was just wondering how long on average should I expect before she could return to normal weight gain? (given that she's so young I'm anxious not to wait too long before taking it further). Thanks

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
