One thing that many non-food allergic families don’t often understand is the way food allergies restrict your life. It’s not something you consciously think about, but occasionally it hits you in the face just HOW much your life has been changed by the existence of food allergies. For FAAW, I … Continue reading
With five days of goat milk under our belts, I’m happy to report that we have good news, and we have great news! For the good news, goat milk has so far proven to be very similar to eggs in terms of FPIES food trials for Zac. No symptoms whatsoever, … Continue reading
Well. We decided to trial BOTH boys on goat milk. At the same time. I can hear you all thinking it: Why would they do something so crazy? Well, Jed has MSPI, and has been kept away from dairy products since he was 5 weeks old. However, he’s had infrequent … Continue reading
