The Dairy Challenge

When I started removing allergens from my diet this time around I started with dairy rather than getting rid of everything at once. It didn't make a discernable difference so I decided to do a dairy challenge once my Little Miss's skin had cleared completely.

day 4 with me on dairy - see the lumps starting on her neck? The cheek leaves a bit to be desired too really.
 I started dairy 4 days ago and boy it was great to be back on! I enjoyed every moment - full cream milk, chocolate galore, yoghurt, ice cream - yum! And her skin went unexpectedly well but each day her skin didn't seem as flawless as the one before and today she started showing little bumps on her neck that made me remember what her skin looked like before. So I believe that she has a dairy allergy but that she doesn't react as strongly as she does to wheat and therefore I'm going to eliminate dairy from my diet again. At least I know that I can have a little dairy if necessary (eg going out for dinner on a rare occasion etc) and not have it affect her too much. But back to everything free for a little while until we try egg. Looking forward to her skin looking like this again:
Just before I ate the first bite of chocolate!
