Tree nuts

I'm Emily Foley's sister in law and my son tested positive for food sensitivities. He started getting really bad rashes on his face and for months my husband and I couldn't figure out what was causing them. Finally with a food blood test, he came up "sensitive" to about 15 different food items. Of course the biggest reaction was to COW'S MILK. That's the number one allergy I think (to kids anyway).
Also WHEAT, GLUTEN, SOY, PEANUTS, and of course any kind of CHEESE. Making it very difficult for the possibility of a diet a 3 year old would actually eat! Thank heavens since they were only sensitivities, we were able to start introducing them back into his diet a few months ago. Thankfully he seems to be doing fine since his 3 months void of all his favorite things.
Sorry to hear about your daughter's food allergies. I know it is a big stress to worry about their diets. Hope all goes well and that she will be okay with her new diet.
