| | Well, we finally got Kaden tested for food allergies on Friday -- actually just milk and eggs. But he tested negative for both! It's good news, but he's still a little complex b/c his skin reacts to certain things, and he still vomits at night if he drinks cow's milk. So due to the no allergy report, we've decided to put him back on dairy...everything except straight milk. In addition to milk, he doesn't do well with certain food dyes, anything with mayo, and cottage cheese. His body also doesn't seem to like Splenda. His face gets really red and breaks out in little hives when any of those things touch his skin, and the doctor theorized that perhaps the lining of his stomach also gets irritated, which is why he can't keep regular milk down. He doesn't have any other symptoms other than the irritation (which goes away when the offending food is wiped off) and the milk-induced vomiting, so I'm grateful that that's all it is.
So...no allergies but some sort of a sensitivity that the doctor hopes he'll grow out of before kindergarten. It's nice to know he's not allergic! |
