We found out that she's allergic to nuts, milk, eggs, garlic, carrots and watermelon.
She is also mildly allergic to beef, chicken, pork, pears, white grapes, corn, cauliflower, white potato, onion, malt, oats, cinnamon, mustard and tomatoes so we're supposed to limit and rotate these foods each week...did you catch all that?!?
It took us awhile to memorize the list and find foods that she could eat, but it has gotten a little easier.
She's such a trooper putting up with all these allergies and the itchies that come along with them! We just hope and pray that she grows out of them soon.
And as if all her allergies and eczema aren't enough, Kylea was diagnosed with RAD (Reactive Airway Disease) last summer and uses a nebulizer occasionally when she has trouble breathing. She was scared at first and it was a pain to get her to stay still and take the treatments, but she actually does her "nebbies" by herself now.

Yuck!! No fun!! Allergies and nebulizers are definitely a pain...she's a trooper! She is lucky to have parents who manage her allergies and breathing so well...it's a full time job to stay on top of that stuff!! Has she been tested for asthma? Just curious! Anyway, you guys are awesome! Love ya!
Sick kids...I feel your pain.
So glad that she cooperates now :)
yay! so glad she doesn't fight the 'nebbies' anymore! Don't know how you do it!...or how she does it either! ;)
Holy cow! I knew it was a cocktail of things she was allergic to, but I didn't realize how many things. Poor girl! And what's up with this RAD thing? Is that the airplane disease? (I still think of you every time I see an airplane or board one). Grow out of it Kylea, grow out of it!
