Thanks Kat! Yes, it has gotten much easier. Some of the choices are quite expensive, but with the right tools and recipes, you can get pretty close or even better at home. We promptly went out and got a breadmaker, waffle maker & two cookbooks!

Absolutely there is still hope! People can grow out of allergies well into their later life. Regardless, have the battle is just being aware of them and making sure your daughter is armed with the knowledge to make the right choices around her food. My older brother is like the bubble kid – allergic to everything – but he has learned to ask the right questions wherever he goes & lives with it all quite easily now.

So glad they were able to diagnose something and now you can respond to it. My dad also has Celiac Disease – has been diagnosed about 5 years now. Back then it was almost impossible to find anything yummy to eat. At least now the market is getting bigger with more gluten free food. And there are more and more recipes out there for yummy snacks! Good luck as you navigate this challenge!!

I’m quite idealistic too – My daughter has a handful of food allergies, and I can’t help but hope they’re the kind she’ll outgrow. She’s nearly 10 now, I think the chances are pretty small…but I still hope!

Thanks Samantha! Living in Canada, I know I can’t complain about much with regards to health care. For the most part, it is pretty awesome. But I do find I have become more critical as a mother and I am not afraid to speak up more where she is concerned. That’s crazy that they would give her that strong of a pain reliever for nothing!

Thanks! I have always been the daydreamer type who looks at things and says, “wouldn’t it be great if…”

I am so glad you got it figured out! I know Celiac can be hard to diagnose and often doctors miss it and say it is something else.

You are very right about trusting motherly instincts, even over doctors. Glad your little one is okay. I just had an experience where a doctor nearly gave my daughter morphine for no reason!

It never hurts tone wildly idealistic.
