Allergy

So it turns out Kayley is allergic to eggs. Just over a week ago we introduced eggs to her. Thankfully she does not go into anaphylactic shock or break out in hives, but eggs do irritate her digestive system and gave her a bad tummy ache that also resulted in her having diarrhea for nearly a week. Poor baby girl. =(

We’ll still have to experiment and see if she can have some egg mixed with lots of things (like a cookie from a cookie recipe that requires an egg). But for now we’re giving her tummy and little system a break. I was really hoping she wouldn’t be allergic to eggs, but knew it was possibly since I am slightly allergic to them. I really hope she isn’t allergic to milk like I am. =( We also have to check out peanuts and peaches still. So far it seems her system is fine with wheat, thank goodness. I hope eggs is the only allergy she has, and that it will turn out that she can have it mixed in things, or better yet, grow out of the allergy.

On a happy note, I made banana bread last night, nixed the eggs from the recipe and just added extra banana and a bit of apple sauce (since I didn't have enough bananas to totally substitute the eggs), and Kayley loves it!
