Emmaline has her allergy testing a while ago, and based on her RAST testing, the doctor determined that we could try a milk challenge. She did one two years ago and failed so I didn't have a lot of hope for this one. We went in and did that today. The nurse put in 5 grams of powdered milk into a tablespoon of water and Emmaline drank it. About 2 minutes later she started to complain of a "sore throat" and had hives around her month. And that was that!
That doctor still thinks she might be able to tolerate the milk in baked goods, so in January we are going to try that instead. Also next month we are going to do a challenge for soy. Last time we did that it was digestive pyrotechnics - so that should be fun.

WHEEE!
That sucks. Hopefully the soy test goes better : ( We were suppose to do a milk challenge with my daughter this week, but she managed to have an allergic reaction to something and so we had to postpone it to the next available time - the end of October.
P.S. Miss you on MoneySavinMommas. : )
