Welcome! We are a homeschooling family in Texas- so we've never been normal by any standards- but with the addition of our third little one, we have entered into the overwhelming and really unfun world of food allergies. Our little girl is allergic to egg white, wheat, soy, dairy, peanuts, sesame seeds, bananas, avocados, pineapples, melons, tree nuts, coconuts, flax seeds, quinoa, and sunflower seeds. This is our life as we stave off starvation and try to maintain sanity.

Babies and Eczema
Well, lately I sometimes feel like I'm reliving the nightmare of when Bee was little. Punkin has eczema, spits up a lot, and sometimes has tummy troubles.
I've made sure that I no longer sneak gluten and dairy-filled snacks but we're not sure what else could be bothering her. This means a visit to our pediatrician and a referral to our immunologist at Texas Children's.
For now we're doing tub soaks, lotion, and we might have to try an elimination diet if her skin doesn't clear up soon.
