Allergies Of Course
Hello, figured I hadn't really posted about anything since almonds, and we've come a long way since then. First on is AnnaBelle. We tried reintroducing a small amount of milk in her diet, we let her eat a two pumpkin muffins over three days. The recipe contained 3 TB of milk. That was three weeks ago and we are still seeing the side effects. So no milk for AnnaBelle.
The symptoms we saw were the second day her voice had changed and sounded gurgaly-is that a word? Runny nose started a few days later. Then we had about a week of "my tummy hurt." and one exciting morning where she threw up continually until she was empty. No we are on to the worst part for us--accidents and wetting the bed. Good thing I stocked up on laundry soap.
Quite a record for 3 TB of milk in 24 muffins which she only had two of.
On the other hand, I am super excited about my upcoming appointment at Allergy Associates in Lacrosse, WI. The more I have been reading about allergies the more I think that there has been a few that have been around for more than ten years. For example, I have been telling doctors for years that my "bones are sore" or achy. When I was a kid they were growing pains, when I got older it was playing rough in sports. Also chronic headaches, being tired all the time, and having stomach pains. Maybe all these are related and I can figure out what it is.
Also in the three books I got from the library there have been several stories from people where an allergen made them feel, "fuzzy-headed", or "drugged". I am super excited because maybe now we can figure out what is going on with the car. Even though it isn't just cars anymore.
I've been back to suspecting something large for a couple weeks, because I have had a constant sore throat. What I've found out so far is.....it might be corn. Or corn syrup at least. I tried it twice now with marshmallow treats made with Special K. I get a headache, dizzy, and fuzzy all within about 90 seconds. Hopefully not, but I'm staying away from marshmallows and candy for the time being. Actually, I've been staying away from most anything.
We are really praying that this allergy place gives us some answers so we know what to avoid. That is Nov. 29 and will include about 4 hours of tests and challenges to see what I react to. So all is mostly well, just still figuring things out.
