Lamb = SAFE!!!

I'm ready to do a happy dance!! Iyla has her second safe food!! So exciting! We are on day 8 of lamb today and she hasn't had any reaction to it what so ever! We usually do 10 day trials but because there are no issues i increased the amount she was eating sooner then i normally would and she is having full servings. She is loving it! I gave her a diced piece just cooked in the oven yesterday instead of pureed and she thought that was great to chew on.

Tomorrow i have decided to start a wheat trial. Her dietician wants us to trial quinoa but after doing the muscle testing for wheat and it being fine i think we'll try that first. If it doesn't work we'll trial quinoa instead.

A new trial finally!!!

It's been a long wait to finally be able to start a new food trial with Iyla. She has been reaction free for 6 days now and is back to her happy gorgeous amazing little self. We waited a little longer still as Abbey had a stomach bug over the weekend and we wanted to make sure Iyla wasn't going to get it and then confuse the trial. But it seems that no one else in the family is going to get it thankfully. Lets hope it's not one of those ones that takes a long time to pass from person to person.
But anyway i fed Iyla a little bit of pureed boiled grass-fed lamb mixed with her broccoli this morning. I don't think she even realised it was any different. It's been 2hrs now and so far all is good (except refusing her morning bottle) so we will see how it pans out. Will be so nice if we can add another food to her diet!

Reaction after reaction...

Over the past 2 weeks little miss Iyla has been getting into everything and finding all sorts of things to eat. Including grass, toilet freshener, more spiders, dinner dropped on the floor, her cousins juice and more. It has resulted in a reaction every few days. Usually not bad but enough to cause serious tummy pains, horrible reflux, sleepless nights and diarrhoea. The diarrhoea after her toilet freshener was the nicest smelling poop i've ever experienced :).
Because of all these reactions we are having to put a hold on her lamb trial. Hopefully we can manage to keep her reaction free for a few days so we can actually start. Thankfully broccoli is still safe and she is still loving it!

Pear = FAIL

I bought some organic pears (not officially classed as organic but not sprayed) from the farmers market on Saturday and we decided to start a new food trial with Iyla right away. Like usual she loved it! But things haven't gone very well. There has been lots of screaming, not much sleep, spit up and horrible poo the last two days and today she completely refused to eat it. She put it in her mouth but screamed hysterically until i scraped every single bit out. We aren't giving her anymore.

We are giving her a few days break to get back to normal and then we are going to trial lamb.

Having to refuse her food is getting harder and harder the older she gets though. She wants what we eat so badly now and those pleading eyes are heartbreaking. Hoping and praying we can find more safe foods soon!!

Growing out of the severe sensitivity???

Yesterday was one of those days where Iyla managed to find every bit of food on the floor. In the morning she ate a tiny piece of a biscuit and a cheerio. We were expecting a reaction, especially from the cheerio but nothing happened. She was her happy self all morning. Then at about 3.30pm she somehow managed to find a twistie. We thought for sure something bad would happen seeing as rice and corn are the main ingredients and two of her worst foods. But apart from a couple of random screaming episodes in the evening she seemed ok. We did have a terrible night where she barely slept and screamed most of the night but no vomiting and so far this morning no diarrhoea (she is very unhappy this morning though and hasn't let me put her down). We are hopeful that this means as she is getting older her stomach isn't quite as sensitive as it was when she was a tiny baby. We are sure she is still allergic to these foods but she probably just needs more of them to cause a bad reaction.

Broccoli is still going great too. She is eating full servings with no problems what so ever. So exciting to say she has a SAFE food!! Hurray!!!  :) :) :) 

 She makes such a mess! Broccoli everywhere!

Spiders???

We have a new food to add to Iyla's safe list...spiders :). Just kidding. But she ate a big black spider yesterday and didn't have a reaction to it. So gross but kind of funny at the same time.

On the topic of food, she is still going well with broccoli. Her poo is pretty much normal now and she is sleeping well and super happy. It is looking like it may be a pass!! We usually do 10 day trials before classing it a pass and today we are on day 10 but she is still only eating 4tsp a day. So i'll start increasing that again and see how she copes. I fed her when we had dinner tonight instead of first thing in the morning and she loved joining in with us :).

Broccoli

Iyla is on day 6 of broccoli and things seem to be improving and not getting worse. YAY!! The first few days there was some sleep trouble and grumpiness but that went away and she is sleeping great and is really happy all day long. There has been lots of explosive, mucousy, instant butt burning poop. But as the days go by this seems to be getting better. Yesterday and today her poo has still been horrible but not half as much mucous. It actually seems like her body may be building up a tolerance to broccoli which is awesome! Iyla is loving it too and gets so excited when i put her in her highchair to be fed. We are sticking to 4tsp a day until her poo is normal again then we will increase slowly. Hoping and praying it continues to go well!!!

 Miss broccoli face!
