It's what I do with Gunne because like eggs, wheat is in freaking everything. <br /><br />If you look in the section of the grocery store that's mostly organic, you'll find that almost everything there has a version that is "allergen free". In other words, you'll find a powdered egg substitute for baking, plus waffles, french toast, fish sticks, pizza, burrittos that all label their ingredients right on the front. A large number of things that Gunne gets are egg free and dairy free, simply because by eliminating wheat, we have to go to the "allergen free" foods, and those eliminate other stuff as well.<br /><br />It's a pain at first, but you seriously get used to it fast. We take cheese sticks and fruit everywhere so he has a safe snack, and if he's eating lunch out of the house, I pack yogurt and other "safe" foods just in case so that if he can't eat what's there, he's got something. <br /><br />Think of it this way, you would hate to do the elimination diet, find that she improves and then have it totally spoiled because she ate a cookie that wasn't safe at day care. It takes up to 3 weeks for an allergen to leave the system - that's three weeks of itchy skin and stomach aches. Just leave a box of "safe" cookies there just in case. <br /><br />Anyway. I hope you work it out. And very cute dress!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848143041881649504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321710438703162714.post-60898841632274674142010-12-09T20:15:27.584-05:002010-12-09T20:15:27.584-05:00I have a little guy with lots of allergies and ecz...I have a little guy with lots of allergies and eczema.
