Ds has this awful rash which has just got worse over the last month or so. The doctor told me to look at foods he's eating, the HV told me try cutting out wheat, then dairy, and other stuff. But I've done everything - cut out all the top allergens, change back to old washing powder, take off my watch in case the nickel's causing it etc. etc. But he still has it. So rather than go on starving him (not that I am really, but its jolly hard to cook for him) I was thinking about doing an elimination diet bu just breastfeeding him for 10 days. They say 10 days is all it should need for the rash to go away if its a food intolerance, and it might rule it out then (unless its in the breastmilk too aargh). I really just want to get rid of this rash so I can start to tryand work out what is causing it, so I can start feeding him properly again.
Will this work? And is it going to be OK for him?

Can you go back to 10 days of exclusive breastfeeding at 11mths for an elimination diet?
