The question isn't what can't she eat, but what can she?

My youngest Tara has always had issues with eczema, we planned to get her in to see what was up the first of the year since it had not cleared up on its own like her sisters. That timetable got pushed up when a week ago when her lips quadrupled in size after eating fish sticks.

Today was the day, she got tested for a bunch of things. The good news is that she is not allergic to dogs or cats so Zoe can rest easy and Anna's wish for a kitten can still be something to hope to have one day.

Milk, soy and wheat all came back clean which is a sigh of relief.

The bad news is Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Egg, Fish, Rice, Turkey(the irony of it being right after Thanksgiving is not lost on me), Chicken.

Peanuts, Tree Nuts and Fish are total bans. The others are to be avoided for the next month and she will be retested.

Anna, the peanut butter addict is not taking it well, but I am on the hunt for Sun Butter in hopes of giving her a Tara friendly alternative.

I can only hope she grows out of most of these, though peanuts and fish are likely for life.
