Allergist Visit

So on Monday we had the appt. with Dr Armogedia. It was just a checking to see how things were going. I had mom come with me which was SO nice- she kept my lady entertained so could talk with the dr and she also had some good questions.

Well she said that I need to keep being psycho mom and use all seperate things for her. We also are going to get her tested for lentils- which is in the legumes closely related to peas then peanuts and soy. AHHHHHH. At first I didn't think much of it but today we gave her the last of her Schanz pasta and John saw the last ingrediant was pea protein. Her cheeks got all red when eating it tonight- nothing terrible but still noticable. So I googled and that was not good cause I saw how it is highly linked to Peanut allergies- which just makes me knot up inside. And it seemed like most cases got worse until age 3- like they keep adding different legumes they can't eat. I just don't know what to do. I think I'm going to ask for more legume testing than just lentils- they also made points about how the heating of the beans makes the reaction worse so it might not test if it has not been heated- why can't anything be simple. I know we haven't gotten a confirmation yet but I'm ready for it. argh
