No More Food Allergies

It has been so long since I have had time to post an update on little man’s food allergies. I had to have foot surgery (see my post about mommin in a cast ), the holidays were upon us, and to top it off we found out we were being blessed with a sweet new edition to our family. Through all this, a lot has happened on the food allergy front for us. As we are all well aware, I have been treading lightly on adding new foods to the little ...

We Still Have Food Allergies

It has been a very busy past couple of months…but long story short, we still have food allergies. Over the past few weeks we have trialed back gluten… again… and we have trailed the big bad dairy. And both food allergies are still ready and raring to go! The typical reaction to gluten was noted – a pretty significant eczema flare up.

The Not So Fun Day of Allergy Testing

The day had finally come. We were meeting with the Pediatric Allergy Specialist. This had been a long road since our initial diagnosis of MSPI. We clearly had more going on than just MSPI given our extensive list of problematic “allergy” foods. I was so excited to know the results of the test, but dreaded the tests themselves. Our son on the other hand; he absolutely knew that his day was not going to be routine. Today, he ...

Baby Needs to Eat the Food

From the day our little man was born I kept saying I can’t wait until this and I can’t wait until that. One of the main things I was excited for was feeding him “real food.” I couldn’t wait to see him eat and to learn what foods he liked and didn’t like. But, then the big bad food allergy diagnosis had the audacity to crush my dreams. From that point on, I was too scared to eat food myself let alone ...
