Can tofu give a baby gas?
I'm beginning to think that me eating tofu is giving my DS gas. Either that
or broccoli. The local Chinese place makes the best tofu w/ broccoli but it seems that DS is very upset and cranky the day after I eat it. It could be a coincidence but I'm not sure. He only stools once every three days usually and that day was yesterday so I'm not expecting it today. He has passed gas a lot today but he does everyday. Has anyone had a baby with an intolerance to tofu? tia, Molly DS 8weeks |

Can tofu give a baby gas?
I wouldn't suspect tofu. I would suspect the broccoli though. Since it is
Chinese, is there a lot of MSG in the food? My stomach can't stand a lot of MSG and have stomach problems after eating food from certain Chinese places. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World...

I think it could be both. Both foods give my baby gas. When I have soy foods
he doesn't seem to tolerate it well. I can't have dairy either. Kris "Molly Ging" wrote in message ... I'm beginning to think that me eating tofu is giving my DS gas. Either that or broccoli.

Can tofu give a baby gas?
I ate tofu all the time when I b/f'd my daughter. As soon as she was into
solids I mixed it into her food too. We're vegetarian so I was always working the protein angle. There was no problem with gas. BUT when I feed my dog kibble with soy, she gets gas. I have to feed her no soy kibbies. Nancy - mom to Grace 12 yrs, bf for first 19 months. "Molly Ging" wrote in message ... I'm beginning to think that me eating tofu is giving my DS gas.

OTOH, soy is one of the more allergenic foods, and GI upset can indicate a sensitivity to something the mom's eating. But it's probably the broccoli. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |

Hi - Soy is a common allergen, so I'd think that it could easily give an infant gas. I never eat soy myself, so have no personal experience with it while nursing. (The soy allergy runs in my family.) --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

By the way, although broccoli can give adults gas when eaten, the mechanism is not the same as that for foods that give gas to nursing infants. My vote is strongly in favor of the soy. BUt don't guess; do a proper elimination of soy (as tofu and anything else) AND broccoli. After a few days, eat lots of broccoli. No problem? After another few days, eat a lot of tofu. See what happens. And whatever else you do, WRITE DOWN everything you eat, and how the baby is feeling, during both the elimination period AND the reintroduction period. Don't rely on your memory! After all, it might have easily been neither food, but a passing mild virus instead. --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

What is MSG? Monosodium L-glutamate, which is a fancy word for lots of salt and preservatives that they add to Chinese food. Too much and it can upset the intestinal system. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... |
