| mummybee, so wonderful to have your quick reply and as always, your invaluable advice/inputs. as i always tell my husband, most of the information that have proven useful and beneficial to me came from this forum. have been contemplating on re-challenging my son's reaction to meat. he broke out in hives when we gave him lamb when he was about 1 and 3 mos old. i was thinking turkey or beef? and do i have to try organic turkey/beef? i shall use your "plan" of introducing new foods and will keep you posted on the results. i hope we will be as "lucky" as you are in the relative speed with which your daughter outgrew her food allergies/intolerances.
i did consider bringing my son to a chinese herbalist but balked at the idea. i was just too terrified at the thought of applying/feeding my son herbs that i was totally unfamiliar with. i thought it just might do more harm than good. homeopathy was something i never considered. although i heard that there are positive results on probiotics for eczema children? i have yet to find a totally dairy-free probiotics brand though. till then, we will have to cautiously find more foods to incude in my son's limited repertoire.
mummybee: did you bring an epi-pen with you when you travelled with your daughter and what age was she when you started travelling with her? and if you can think of any ideas/advice on how to introduce new foods for our allergic/intolerant children, would very much appreciate it!  |
