This food allergy/intolerance stuff is frustrating!!! We have done testing with the pediatric allergist, both girls see a GI specialist and dietician at Mary Bridge, they also are under care from their regular pediatrician, a naturopath and the bottom line is we have no definitive answers. In fact they all say something different and offer different advice. Ugh! Finally the dietician at Mary Bridge said it...this food allergy stuff is really hard and 50% of the time the testing is wrong! Wrong! Well I could have told you that! She also said they only way to know for sure what the girls react to is to do the elimination diet and add things back and wait for a reaction.
One thing we do know is that when we did the Real Food Challenge we had zero problems or reactions to food for Bella.
we opted to do alternative food testing... Waiting now for the results. Hoping that will give us a little more of a direction.
That said... This week I made some mistakes in Bella's food and we have all been paying for it! When she doesn't feel well it results in a whiny, clingy, crabby, emotional girl!! We are currently on a food cleanse... Only whole foods for her and can't wait till it all clears her system. Maybe then I won't be waking up to screams every morning!!!
