Went to the Allergist


We are allergic to: Peanuts, Treenuts, Eggs, Wheat, Rye, Barley, & Shellfish.
Thankfully, there is a chance she can grow out of these, but only time will tell.
As a nursing mom, it was very difficult hearing this. Maybe the saying should be "Breast is best....if your child doesn't have food allergies." Then again, did you know there is only 1 very specific formula, that doesn't contain tree nut oil? The allergist warned things I wouldn't have thought of: Going to Graeters where they use the same scoop for vanilla as they do the butter pecan is now a no-no. At least she's young enough to not know what she's missing. Plus, both we both love our fruits & veggies.
I am also now the owner of an Epipen. I pray it never has to be used.
Needless to say, it has been a very overwhelming morning. I can't imagine how much longer I'll be in the grocery store reading labels! Well, off to clear out the pantry.
