About 9 months ago my daughter had an allergic reaction to something.  She had a severe rash and an asthma attact.  We took her to the doctor and after treating the symptoms decided to remove wheat and dairy from her diet.  That meant absolutely no more of her Dad’s favorite dessert Tres Leches (at least not for her).  It was a very hard thing for me since I believed that either wheat or dairy or both were in everything.  But it was a very good experience for me working in the food industry because I have a much greater understanding for allergies now.  It was also very helpful to make dinners at Dream Dinners because it made it easy to make small substitutions to our dinners ahead of time so I didn’t have to prepare a seperate dinners for Ryan and myself and Reagan.  Since we discovered she may have a food alergy I have done some research on the topic as well, I read a very informative pamphlet from The National Institutes of Health about Food Allergies.  I was especially interested in the section that talked about how children can grow out of food allergies and that individuals usually react to foods they eat often.  Anyway, we are going to the doctor on Friday to have her tested and see if we need to continue eliminating both wheat and dairy or if it is something else entirely so I decided to write a post and have you all wish me luck.  Thanks
