Smart Door Power Options

[Tina C]

Emma - I have a friend who had child with serious milk allergy - a case of don't touch/kiss her if you have been eating milk chocolate or icecream etc. She had an epipen too. Mum was told in X% of cases they grow out of it by 5 - and she has!

 

The biggest nightmare was that food maufacturers would change ingredients without warning. So friend would find suitable version of things (I was amazed at how many types of bread contain milk) but next time she went shopping it would have milk listed on the ingredients - constant label reading required, don't envy you at all.

 

Hope that your little one grows out of it too, although I expect 5 seems a long way off still....

Thanks Tina. Its good to hear a success story

 

Yes the nurse warned us that if milk was spilt on the floor and then Isabelle touched it she could have a huge reaction

Im sure all will be fine though and having the epipen as a backup will be good - I pray I will never have to use it and hope that if I have to I get it right and dont end up stabbing myself!

 

The consultant said 80% of children grow out of milk, wheat & egg allergies so I hope Isabelle is in this bracket

 

Packet reading has been my life for the past 10 weeks being on this crazy withdrawal diet so much so Im getting really good at it!
