Allergist appointment
This is a rather boring post, but I wanted to update everyone. We went to the allergist today and Evelyn was tested for 40 different foods. Turns out she is allergic to milk, eggs and corn. So now I have to totally eliminate those from my diet and then add one back in to make sure she really is allergic to it. I don't have any allergies, so I don't really know how these things work, but there is NO doubt she is allergic to milk. She gets a rash every time I have anything dairy. We get to go back in 2 weeks for some more testing. One interesting tidbit--remember my earlier post about her breaking out after eating rice cereal? She did not test positive for rice. Like I said, I don't know how these things work, but I'm still not giving her any more rice cereal for a while. Maybe never.

I feel some of your pain, so to speak, my daughter Alyssa has some allergies. we found out the hard way one day before church. Made for a long morning in the ER all because she tried a cashew.
Give her a big squeeze for us.
thanks for the update. That new diet will take some getting used to won't it. Good luck!
allergic to milk!!! Awful news. Ice cream is a staple in the Ridley diet. We've got a dear family member who is allergic to wheat - I had NO IDEA how many things (seemingly un-wheat-related) that have wheat in them in some form!
The good news, poor Evelyn, is that now maybe you'll feel better more often.
