Milk Allergy -- Gone!

As far as we can tell, our 3-year-old daughter's milk allergy is gone.  She has been eating yogurt every day --I used yogurt as a control to know how much was going in her each day.  After the first initial days of dairy eating she had a mild eczema breakout on her arms.  It went away within a day.  We have gradually been increasing her yogurt intake every three days.  She's now eating 4 oz of yogurt a day. No skin rashes to be found. She even ate pizza at preschool last week.  Her teachers looked at me nervously when I told them to let her try it.  Thankfully, I work in the same school so they weren't so worried knowing I was in the building.  It's been so exciting to watch her eat new foods.  Goldfish crackers were on her list to try right away.  Crazy how the simplest thing as a goldfish cracker was so dangerous.  Now it's not a problem.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding our journey with the milk allergy!

  1. Wow! Congrats! I have a nearly 2 year old son who has a dairy allergy and I come to your site for food ideas. This is great to hear and I hope when we do his 2 year testing we get a negative reaction result. :)
