Kelsey's bloodwork from her food allergy test came back.....They tested her for 96 foods and she had a reaction to 63!! Luckily 49 of those reactions were low, but she had a few moderate and serious reactions. Moderate means she can have them every 4 days.....those are a bunch of cheeses, pineapple, lamb, soy and gluten (which is in like EVERYTHING!) Her serious reactions are things she can NOT have...Cow's milk, casein, lactalbumin, cottage cheese, and beef. I was so overwhelmed at the Dr's office that I did not ask any questions. I had quite a few meltdowns that day. I felt like I had lost control. I had control over everything she eats and I knew what I was looking for on labels and life was good. Now I was immersed into a whole new eating plan that I knew nothing about. I'm learning a little more everyday and it's getting a little easier. My friends are great and have sent me websites and cut out pages from magazines with ideas for me. Immediately I changed her milk..we switched her to almond milk (since goats milk it twice the price of almond and since it's mammal milk I'm pretty sure it has lactalbumin) I had to switch her breakfast to a gluten free dairy free cereal, she was used to having a bagel or a waffle. Since then I have found a local health food store that carries gluten free dairy free waffles and bagels!! Wish us luck on this new adventure.....
