Food Allergies Treatment

Hi, I’m breastfeeding our 3.5-month-old girl & I feed her about every 2.5 hours. At night, I feed her upon waking. But, after about the 4a or 5a or 6a feeding (depending on when the last feeding was), she twists and turns and pulls up her legs. I know it’s stomach cramps. And they seem to last until about 8a or 9a or 10a, and then she’s fine for the rest of the day. And yes, they do seem to abate when I feed her, but they certainly disrupt her sleep. To clarify, she is NOT screaming or crying when she has these cramps (she doesn’t have colic), just grunting and groaning. I can usually let her lay there & work it out for awhile, but she will work up to A scream, then I pick her up & try to burp & feed her. After that, if I lay her down, the cramps start up again. I have eliminated much from my diet, but not cow’s milk yet, should I try Soy milk? Or, could it be that I just have to be sure she burps when I feed her at night. … I’m a new mom. … Anyone else experience this?

I have a milk allergy(supposedly medium allergy). When i don’t keep track and have too many milk products, I will feel sick, get almost unbearable painful cramps, sometimes get the runs and if i go really overboard, I may get nausea and vomiting. I hate the taste of soy milk and can’t really afford to buy two different types of milk for my family. But, during my last painful experience(screaming into the towels because the cramps were so bad) i wondered if i could do permanent damage somehow, and in what form, to my body.
