Christmas

The holidays are always difficult trying to figure out what is safe to feed our girls. With Kaylin's milk allergy and Keira's nut allergy, eating at other people's houses and keeping the kids out of holiday treats that are ever present can be so overwhelming.

On our way places we've been stopping by McDonalds more than should ever be allowed, lol. It's not the healthiest but a Hamburger Happy Meal minus the fries is milk free for Kaylin.

I also discovered that Baker's Chocolate is dairy free and made Kaylin her own "truffles" for Christmas.

Kaylin did sneak some white chocolate in the middle of our holiday baking. She was spitting up again and complaining her stomach hurt. I didn't realize what had happened until I found the evidence and she fessed up. It was very clear to her what the cause and effect was and she agreed it wasn't worth it.

We have Pizza!!!!


Ok, so I'm not sure who was more excited me or Kaylin! We tried out Pizza Fusion tonight in Temecula and it was awesome. Thanks to their vegan pizza, she was able to have real pizza with dairy free soy cheese. She was totally excited to have real pizza. The restaurant was way more "crunchy granola" than we're used to but it was good. She has tried dairy free cheese before and simply put, it was nasty. It was cool to have pizza that not only tasted like pizza, it was good pizza. They also have GF stuff on the menu too!

Article: EE in Today's Dietician

So many articles on EE just plain suck...no other way to put it. Most are lacking information or stating the opinions of some Dr. in Po-Dunk-Nowheresville that has a total of 1 EE patient. This one is awesome and covers the basics. It's a few years old but worth reading....

August...

has been interesting.

Kaylin has had wheezing off and on which we can't figure out.

Her Aunt decided to feed her Whoppers (AKA Malted Milk Balls covered in Chocolate @@) without telling us. After 4 days of reflux, spitting up food, actually throwing up, a little wheezing and waking up night after night, we were stumped. A few days later, we heard through the grapevine she was given Whoppers, obviously containing milk. I can't even explain the frustration with that situation.

She went to a party with family in San Diego this last weekend which has resulted in allergy symptoms and bad wheezing the last four days and nights. She spent the entire first night coughing. This wheezing thing is new.

Last August was rough for her too with reflux symptoms but she also started school and got a new baby brother. We're still suspicious of enivironmental allergies though. The trips to San Diego to see family with inside dogs seem to be followed by a few days of stuffiness and reflux.
