It has been a long hard road with not much support from professionals. It seemed like all of his docs were confused and did not have any answers except steroids and potent meds and creams with side effects. We were so frustrated and sad for him because you are right...it does not seem fair and it's heart breaking to see them want some yummy food they cannot have.<br /><br />We have really changed our lifestyle to adapt to this so we can all eat foods that he can enjoy or I make similar ones for him. I just wanted to share though that we decided to try a children's chewable probiotic called Belly Boost and it has been amazing for him! It has helped him dramatically and not only has his skin really cleared up, but he can now tolerate so many foods that we never thought possible! We do still carry his Epi for allergens, but this has been so incredible for all the other food issues. Maybe this could help you family? <br /><br />Anyway - wonderful post! I have a "green" mom blog if you ever want to visit! I would love it :) smilinggreenmom.comsmilinggreenmomhttp://smilinggreenmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195258727505860516.post-47761609163481805582010-08-19T11:18:35.314-04:002010-08-19T11:18:35.314-04:00My daughter has a severe milk allergy (has grown o...My daughter has a severe milk allergy (has grown out of her others!) and cannot eat wheat. We just don't bother going out to dinner. It is not worth the effort. On the rare occasions we do go out, I have to take her food so I still have to make something!<br /><br />I envy your love of cooking. The food allergy issues sucked all my enthusiasm for cooking away. I used to enjoy cooking and it relaxed me. Now it is more of a chore. I keep thinking I will love to cook again some day but that day has not come yet!<br /><br />Funny though, I just made coleslaw for my daughters lunch. We are able to use egg mayo though, making it simpler.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970099218868566265noreply@blogger.com
