Eggsactly!

We got the boys' allergy test results, and they have no grass/tree allergies so there will be no need for injections - WHEW! However, as for FOOD allergies... eggs, milk, soy and (for Evan) wheat are on the hit list. None of them are so severe that they would swell up or anything. They just need to avoid heavy dosing of these items. So, we're nixing morning eggs, milk as a beverage and checking into potato bread for Evan. The inclusion of said foods in ingredients is ok, so long as it's not one of the first three. AND, we were informed by the allergist that we shouldn't ELIMINATE - just MODERATE these items in their diet so that they will hopefully grow out of the allergies. The boys are taking it well, although Evan used to drink a lot of milk! (I called him my little "milk-man"). Maybe that's why he always had a runny nose. The harder part is eliminating cheese! Chester Cheetah was right when he said, "It ain't easy bein' cheesy!"
