today we received bear’s blood work results from our naturopath and drum roll please… the kid is sensitive to eggs, the whole thing, and peas. he is disappointed he can’t eat eggs anymore, but that’s life, i guess. i am going to start researching what kinds of egg substitutes to use and for which recipes. i think it’s totally manageable for us to be egg free. there is incredible relief in me this evening as bear is not sensitive to a whole variety of foods; like gluten, dairy and eggs all together! whew!
the peas, um, well, it’s weird, right? we don’t eat a lot peas, but in the summer we’ll have to skip out on eating fresh peas straight out of the pods. so it goes!
here’s hoping that the tests were accurate and that eggs are the main culprit and we can get this terrible eczema off of his body. if anyone has any recipe book recommendations or websites, that would be great. the wealth of information out there is a bit overwhelming.
i love this boy so much.
look at his beautiful face, so easy to love.
Eczema! Ugh… I’ve had eczema for most of my life and it’s not fun at all. Hm… I wonder if I’m sensitive to eggs as well…?
You’re right though. He’s a cutie, red cheeks and all. 🙂
i can’t imagine living with it. looks awful! i’m glad we’ve had him tested, because now i feel like we can try to do something about it, rather just cope with it.
good luck with your eczema!
Hoping that the eggs and peas, or lack of, will clear up his condition! He is a beautiful boy! Prayers for success!
fingers crossed!! thanks holly!
I hope that they have found the answer and eliminating eggs and peas will take care of that nasty eczema. Poor kid, allergies are no fun. You have my prayers that all works out for him.
