Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

I'm sorry your baby is dealing with so many allergies.
In my mind that points to problems in the digestive system.

Just curious, but do you have food allergies?

I would wonder the same thing that Jo said regarding continuing breast feeding while you're doing the diet. I know that's not always possible though.

I've heard about the GAPS diet in the Autism community and elsewhere, but know only a little about it except that it sounds complicated if you're going from breast milk to first solids, but I'm sure it's been done before. The woman/doctor who designed the diet believes that the health of the gut is paramount to the health of the brain.

It's a pretty complex diet that includes all sorts of other things including probiotics, vitamins, enzymes etc..so I'd definitely make sure you're doing it with an health professional's guidance.

You probably would find more info over on Latitudes.

EDITED to add
: I just did some more reading about all this and it sounds very extreme and even at times a little weird to me personally. Just my humble opinion though.

I would definitely get professional advice before starting something like this for first solids!!!
