Allergy Talk
I need to chat for a minute.
We've hit a little snag in our allergy induced diets.
Matt and I are diligent about reading labels and keeping the kids on tract but we've been noticing something is still throwing one of their little systems off.
Do any of y'all have any experience or information about fructose malabsorption?
And to my Richmond people, do you have a nutritionist you'd recommend? I'm sure our pediatrician will have a referral list but it's nice to have a more personal reference.
I'm also curious for my allergy crew, how did you diagnose potential threats that weren't on the original scratch test list? Like certain dyes or preservatives. My mother in law is allergic to carrageenan so I know that's one I'm going to start watching out for directly. High percentages of sugar is the other trigger I want to focus on.
Did you keep food journals and use process of elimination to determine triggers?
Ask the pediatrician to send you straight to the GI?
My plan is to speak with the pediatrician this afternoon and start a food journal to take to our next allergist appointment. I know the first thing they're going to ask is what she's eating.

As always, feel free to email me directly if you prefer to keep yourself or your story anonymous from the internets.
