Finally

So for all of Avery's life she has had a really bad case of eczema. It would flare up so bad that he entire body would be covered in scratch marks because it bothered her so bad. I have taken her to the doctor numerous times and have been given advice and cream. Nothing seemed to help. It has been so frustrating! I finally decided to take her to a different doctor when I gave her some milk and she broke out in hives and a really bad rash. We finally realized that Avery is allergic to milk!!! She has been her entire life. That is why she has had such bad skin. I feel so bad that she has been drinking something that has made her "sick" All three of my other kids have had a milk allergy, but it didn't show on their skin. It was in their tummies and stools. Even though Avery had been on a sensitive formula, it still had milk in it. She should have been on soy like Carson was. After 4 days of soy and lacto free milk, her skin looks so much better!!! I am so happy! So until she is about two, we have to stay away from any milk products. Gosh that girl ate so much cheese! Now what I am I going to give her lol

Allergies have got to be hard! Good luck to you, I think I would really struggle with food allergies!!

Poor girl! That is so weird how it comes out differently in your kids.

Allergies ARE hard, but answers and understanding make up for it! Good luck on the diet change!
