Kara was diagnosed with food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in August of 2010. She has had many FPIES reactions and complications that have lead to numerous hospitalizations and specialist appointments. It was a huge sigh of relief to finally have some answers and a diagnosis, however we have to remind ourselves daily that this is a very serious disease and this is only the beginning of the long road we have in front of us.

Apple Update

Apples are going well. Kara's loving having that splash of juice in her water, little apple pieces and applesauce. A few months ago, when we previosly trialed them, I wasn't sure if they were going to be a pass or not because we had soy in a food she was getting every day in a hidden source. When she failed pears, I figured apples would also be a fail because of the high sugar content. Since her scope came back negative, I decided to jump in and trial the apples. It's going so well, in fact, that I wanted to start something new tonight but looked at our board and it reminded me I just started apples Monday night. We need to give this a little more time. Maybe tomorrow!

On that note, because of the frequent night waking and tummy aches prior to the apples, I think we need to re-trial carrots or just call them a fail. It's been a few days since she's had them and we've had two nights of good sleep and no tummy aches.

We're making some progress and getting more of a menu every week!
