Our own food experiment!
Although we were told not to change anything yet, Walt was determined to at least change Jordan’s milk from dairy to soy. I agreed with him that we could try that just to see how Jordan would like the soy milk. We began soy milk on Tuesday. We continued using soy milk in his grits and Carnation Instant Breakfast on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Guess what...all three nights he woke up in the middle of the night. On Thursday night, he woke up screaming terribly and could not even talk. It was the same painful cry he would have when he was younger with reflux. A lightbulb went off....could it be soy that Jordan is allergic to? Friday we switched to almond milk. Jordan slept Friday night. He also slept Saturday night as well. (Today is Sunday.) Is that coincidence or could he be allergic to soy and showed that much of a response on two Nexium and a Pulmicort? Time will tell! I am waiting to hear back from the doctor at Chapel Hill to see her opinion.
