Great Success!!!

After a trip to Dr. Paschall, the pediatric allergist, we know that Madeline is NOT deathly allergic to any of the 6 things we tested her for, which included milk, soy, carrots, strawberries, corn, and oranges.

This does not prevent her from having a reaction, but as it was explained to us, the reaction would be more discomfort than needing medical attention. We are going to attempt cows milk this week, once we have talked to the Gastro about how to introduce it slowly.

We are grateful to Neocate for the help it gave Madeline in her first year, but we are ready to cut our ties with it (and its ridiculously high price tag!).

Updates to follow...
