oh poor thing Jenny  :-*

Hey Claire,  I do get alot of help, I do employ my neice one day a week to cook and freeze foods for the day and also my Mum comes one day a week, so dinner is cooked for us on that night too  ;)  My neice has gone overseas now so DH is thinking of working 4 days a week for the next month just to get us through to the last month of this diet  ::)  Has he had his op?  If not, sending smooth op vibes for him  :-*

Jean: you know i have thought of writing a book about this journey,  but then I think I would rather forgetit all very quickly and move on  :P

LOL Eloys; the book would be a great help to many.  And K and J will have it for when they have children.  :-)

Well the scratch tests show that olly has fast reacting allergies to milk, wheat and eggs :'(. Soy was clear but of course can't rule out an intolerance, this will be the first thing I test as this would open a few more options for ollys diet.

wow, your intuition was pretty spot on then!  I'm sorry hun, it must be a bit of blow to have it confirmed.  At least you have answers and can move forward from here.

So many hugs to you and Olly.  :-(  It was informative, and it sounds like it confirmed what you suspected.  I wonder if they will want to do any follow up testing at the gi?  Doing both soy/milk free is really hard, so as you said, adding soy could give you some more options.  I hope that trial goes fine.  XXXXXXXXXX

Thanks. Yes it confirmed our suspicions but still a shock to find they are allergies and not just intolerances. Plus I had just added egg back into my diet thinking it was ok!

It sounds like the egg is a curve ball; perhaps it wasn't trialed long enough to really know.  It is hard to say.  I do know I have read that it can take longer food trials for a food intollerance to show up, but I would think an actual allergy would show up fairly quickly after consumed? A good question for the allergist, I think; and ask what the chance is that it is a false positive.  ;-)

Thanks Jean. Well he's still having eggs everyday and he's had 3 nights of no NW'ings and one sttn, but my main indicator is his poos, they are usally mucusy with a reaction and his poss have been perfect.  Also, his reflux usually becomes visible in the daytime if he is reacting to something.


ANYWAY GUYS I AM SO EXCITED>>>>

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  THE BATTLE WITH THE SALICYLATE BEGINS TODAY  :o :o  :o>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Kai had 1 teaspoon of moderate salicylate today!  SO haveto use the same food for the trial my salicyalte of choice is carrot!!!  I finely grated it and he LOVED it.   I felt so happy to give him a new vege but a bit sad he could only eat one mouthful  :(

1 teaspoon a day for a week, if all good I am upping to 2 teaspoons next week, and so on........

Eloys, I hope the sals are fine!  That would widen his diet quite a bit more!

Well I am pretty stoked  ;D

He has been on one tablespoon of MODERATE sals for 7 days now, not one hint of a reaction, he has even slept through the night twice !

I went against the dietican recommendations of one teaspoon a day and just went for it otherwise we will get nowhere fast  - with his range of foods.   I also need to squeeze in some dairy challenges before he is 1.

Going to see dietician and naturopath this weel so will let you know the weaning and milk plan, and how to cover calcium intake.

This week two tablespoons of moderate sals a day... then next week I plan to go to HIGHS  :o

On the list I still have the question of wheat to tackle for Kai and dairy as well as glutamates.  One thing at a time eh!

E- please let me know what she says about weaning. We've gotten nowhere on the formula, but I also haven't pushed it either.
