| Goodbye, pizza! |
Hubby and I were rather surprised when we got Baby Chuck's allergy test results back. We initially guessed that he was allergic to milk and possibly eggs. However, we were both wrong. It turns out that Chuck is not allergic to those two foods. He is, however, allergic to (at least) four things: peanuts, wheat, soy, and *gasp* dog dander. Of the four items, he's highly allergic to peanuts and moderately allergic to the rest of the list. I'd like to continue breastfeeding him and after asking the initial question, "Well, what can we eat?" I realized... oh wait.... we can still eat quite a bit. (Oh cheese, how I've missed you.)
Armed with this new information, we've formed a new plan of attack. We're going to (1) modify our diet, (2) set up some new rules and boundaries for Charlie, and (3) meet up with an allergist for more information. I'm excited to try out the new changes and am really hoping that Chuck's eczema will improve.
