A sampling of things I can not partake of while breastfeeding my milk and soy intolerant son.

Even so, something is still bothering him, so we went back to the pediatric G.I.  

G.I. - "Do you eat any unusual foods in high volume?"

Me - "Um, no, nothing unusual, but I eat a lot of burritos.  And rice and beans.  I eat rice and beans all the time.  That's my favorite food."  

Subtext: if you tell me to stop eating them, my life will no longer be worth living.

G.I. - "Do you make them yourself?  From scratch?"

What a question.  It's obvious this man is not a working mother.

Me - "No."

G.I. - "Then how do you know there is no dairy in your beans?"

Me - "I eat black beans.  From Chipotle.  They are dairy free.  I've asked."

I've never asked such a stupid question, but I lie to reassure him, because I really don't like where this conversation is headed.

G.I. - "No more Chipotle.  I wouldn't trust them.  Normal people should not eat Chipotle, much less nursing mothers."

I almost burst into tears.  But then Roan actually does burst into tears, so I get a hold of myself, and leave the doctors office with something that looks like dignity.  But I am dying on the inside, oh pediatric G.I.!
