Feel so defeated right now with Cmpa

@Becky sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if it's a non-ige allergy which most are then there isn't any tests to do. X
Oh really? That’s going to be so hard cause I can’t work out what she’s reacting to, it seems like most things but also could be delayed reactions. I thought they could do skin prick/blood tests?x
Only for ige reactions (breathing problems, hives etc) if it's eczema, bowel problems etc it's non-ige and a case of keeping a food diary and process of elimination. It took us until age 18 months to pinpoint our daughters and re-inteoduce everything. It was eventually dairy and oats (we had cut all allergens and introduced one at a time in-between teething illnesses etc) our other allergy child is dairy and soya free. It's so hard initially but it's easy now we know what's what. X
Ahh ok makes sense - the thing is the things she’s reacting to aren’t obvious allergens, but either way will be a similar process I guess x
@Becky yeah, we used huckleberry to keep a log of what she was eating. My friends son is allergic to citrus fruits, and a friend is allergic to Bananas, kiwi and latex. They can be so random x

@Becky what's she reacting to?
I know the feeling my son started having seizures from cmpa at 10 days old then we got that under control to then find out he's severely coeliac
So sorry to hear you’re going through this too - we had exactly the same with my son. It’s absolutely horrendous and no one can understand the stress, anxiety and heartbreak unless they’ve been through it. The mental load is unreal. It does get easier though I promise - my son is now 2 and we know what his (many 😅) allergies are and we can manage them really well. He rarely has reactions now. I have an insta page where I’ve documented our whole journey with weaning etc if you’re interested. Sending love and strength and my top recommendation would be to tap into community and find solidarity/support. There’s loads of good FB groups!
@YazmynJade obviously reactions after peas and rice and a few others, but her skin seems to react on days when I’ve given her things like potato and broccoli so I don’t know if these are delayed reactions from something else or maybe just having wet food around her face is aggregating her eczema x
I feel the same since weaning. Thought I’d got her allergies under control by eliminating dairy and soy from my diet, now since weaning she’s having reactions to loads of things and her skin is so bad. Waiting to get referred to a paediatrician so we can do a test and find out what else she’s allergic to but feels like it’s going to be lots of things and it’s so stressful!x
