Ella got blood taken the other day at the doctor to test for allergies, and the doctor called last night with the results. It turns out she has quite a few mild allergies; milk, egg whites, wheat, household mildew, cat and dog dander. To be honest I'm not even sure what all this means. I spoke with her doctor's nurse today and asked a few questions, but I still have more. From what I am understanding, mild allergies means that they can usually tolerate the allergens, but if they keep being exposed to them, then the allergy can increase. So basically everything that Ella eats right now she is allergic to! I don't even know where to begin with trying to change everything, this is very overwhelming. Little steps for now and hopefully get in to see a nutritionist soon. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open for ideas.

Oh girl! I can't imagine either - Reese and I would be in trouble ;) I hope you can get some good advice on how to deal with the changes. I know my sister cut out dairy from my nephews diet for a few months. I will ask her how they made the changes. I know he drank SILK. Have a nice time in MN.
