No Fun!

Mommy and Daddy spent the morning with Reese at the Allergist's office. After 20 months of guessing and assumptions about food issues we got a solid diagnosis. Our little fella has a true milk allergy and a dog allergy.

We had anticipated the milk allergy and have been careful about dairy products. Dr. Liddle told us that we have to eliminate it completely for the next year and then he can be retested. Little Reesey doesn't know it, but this is going to make some significant changes in his diet. No more corn dogs!!! This will be the worst part for him. He loves his corn dogs!

On the upside he can tolerate Rice Milk and we have been using it for a couple of weeks now. If any one has a recipe for corn dogs please pass it on. As long as I can substitute Rice milk for regular milk he'll be just fine. While your at it, let me know of any bread and treats that you know of that are milk free.
