Whelp!!

We are currently surviving H's new no egg and tree nut diet! I think he hasn't thrown up in over a week. And for the most part hasn't had any form of egg except for the tiny "daddy slip up" when he forgot to read the label and gave H tater tots that had egg. (Go figure there would be egg in tater tots eh?) I blame it on me since I should have thrown the bag away, but I'm too cheap to waste it knowing I could still eat them. 
It's crazy to think that after all this time, all we had to do was change his diet to avoid his vomiting. Wish we would have known sooner. It's definitely a trial going places with him because every fast food joint or restaurant has no clue what's in their food and a ton of it has egg. We are currently avoiding taking him out to eat anywhere. Even french fries aren't safe if they cook them in the same grease as the nuggets. Thank goodness he isn't allergic to peanut butter or dairy!! I'd be lost without pb&j and easy Mac! 
I never thought allergies to food were as real as they are. I think allergies are a thing of the future because I've not heard of many issues in the past generations. It's also been a chore trying to convince the grandparents that egg is truly the reason for his vomiting. I wasn't a believer at first either. 
I'm praying that he grows out of the allergy, but if not, I hope to feel good about feeding him better in the future. I'm not a chef or baker. I can cook but I'm just too tired to bake everything and too poor to buy organic everything. All I can say is hats off to those moms whose children are allergic to everything. It is hard! 
Anyways.. That's the scoop so far for any of you who wanted updating.
