Tired Baby – The Gluten Edition

Poor Jacob has thrown up at least 5 times in the last 45-60 minutes
after eating oatmeal tonight at dinner.

 

He has been fine with oat groats, but those are less likely to have
been contaminated with gluten. Conventional quick oats are what we
tried tonight in preparation for our trip to California. About two
hours after eating, he emptied his stomach – all over me.
Unfortunately, this is now the beginning of determining if Jacob has
Celiac.

 

He's taking it all surprisingly well. No crying or screaming. He is
just exhausted. He is nursing when offered, but then empties his
stomach again. Just trying to keep him hydrated until he can get rid
himself of all the gluten he ate.

 

Here he is on the make shift “puke-zone” that we created on the floor
of our bedroom. Poor thing. But isn't he so sweet and cute in his
green BumGenius cloth diaper?
