Wow- thanks so much everyone!

Barb, he's 8 months old and still BF. He's eating some fruit, veg, rice cakes and bits and pieces of whatever we're having and doesn't appear to be having any adverse reactions.

Here's the important bit, My DH is asthmatic, gets eczema and is allergic to animal hair and pollens...pertinient info, should have put that in my first post!! Also, DHs nephew is anaphalactic (sp) with nuts. So, yep, STRONG family history!

As for dairy, I feel heaps better since all but eliminating it...less constipated and less bloating. Also DS1 will only eat dairy under duress so maybe he knows something that I don't and I've been a bad Mummy not listening to his body DD loves dairy but has always had mushy, pale coloured poo since we stopped BF at 18 months.

Hmmm...thinking I'll take us all to the Dietician and get tested.

Thanks again!
