ALLERGIES UNDER CONTROL

Some of you may remember that our Teia girl is allergic to many dietary things. After seeing two specialists in 08' we discovered she is allergic to all dairy, wheat, rice, soy bean, peanuts, sesame seed, barley and rye.

Houston we have a problem!

Allergies under control!




It's been a difficult journey trying to provide her with a nutritious diet. Besides her allergies she will only eat few fruit, no veggies, and ONLY NOW small amounts of meat. She will eat on a regular basis....hotdogs, vienna sausage, cold cut turkey, french fries, Mcdonald's nuggets & hamburgers, oatmeal, cereal with no milk, and pizza with just sauce.
We're SLOWLY expanding her diet based on her WILLINGNESS and her bodies toleration. Tei can now have moderate amounts of wheat & rice. Some days we get carried away and let her eat to her hearts desire (like half a bag of pretzels),but then she breaks out with eczema. We know when she sneaks to eat dairy because she gets hives around her mouth and diarrhea. Busted!

  3. I love that she has her sass back in the second picture, too cute. Poor girl though and poor you trying to find things for her to eat. I can't imagine going a day without dairy how sad is that!
