There's only been a few times when he has seemed disappointed that he can't have something because it has milk in it. He never really liked milk to start with (consistency, maybe?) so he was happy not to be able to drink it, but he's surprised when he can't have some chips or chocolate. It's actually a mix of milk, egg whites and wheat, though he has a follow-up appointment this week with an allergist to have a skin test to see the extent of the allergies. So far, we’re doing ok.

In any case, he had cupcakes on Wednesday with little ill effects, he just won't get ice cream.

Poor thing! I wonder what non-dairy ice cream tastes like? Surely they make such a thing with all the lactose intolerant people out there...or maybe they all pop a pill before having milk products, I know my fil used to do that. Can't be good for a person. Hope he had no ill effects from the cake... His birthday? Poor thing! I wonder what non-dairy ice cream tastes like?

We probably won't be eliminating all of it until then-- I mean, what's a birthday (today) without cake?! He won't be having the ice cream he picked out earlier, though. We wouldn't want him feeling bad with the guests there and everything. :( We’ll know more when we see the doctor.

They came back saying that he is allergic to milk, egg whites, dog and cat. Obviously he's not violently allergic to these things, as the first two are in almost every meal, but we will be taking some action now, and we'll wait for the follow up appointment in February.

So, that's a mixed blessing. It's a blessing that he doesn't have Celiac, but it still leaves whatever is/was going on as a mystery. The appointment is still scheduled for December 6th, and we have some lactose intolerance meds to try, but haven't used them yet. (You have to start them for two days before they start working.) So, your prayers are still appreciated as we continue to search for what's wrong. The blood test came back negative for Celiac. So, that’s a mixed blessing.

That's wonderful that it was successful and the little guy was a trooper for it! I've not heard of many kids actually watching the nurse do it though! I always did...lol What an answer to prayer!
