What is she NOT allergic to??!!

OMG Peachy, that's terrible! Poor Lauren & poor you for having to try to find things to feed her! Strange apples aren't on the list, didn't she used to react to them? Is she ok with them now?

Wow!, I had never heard of the hair testing before reading about them in Oct Mums. I would also get a second opinion if it was me, especially with something as large and influential as food intake (if that makes sense)

Wow, that IS a big list! Where do you even start?!

I've always been a bit sceptical of hair testing, and still am, but in the interests of getting to the bottom of the gremlins ongoing health problems I'm about to send their hair off to be tested so will be interesting to see what they come back with. According to 'conventional' testing Sienna has peanut anaphalaxis and that's all. They did have cows milk issues as babies tho and there's been some suggestion that might be exacerbating their ear problems/sucky immune systems so we'll see.

Oh man. how awful for you both.
I would follow up with a specialist too. They will hopefully give you access to a nutritionist as well as do more tests??

Ah that is so hard, I would also suggest seeing an actual paedatric allergy specialist though. And I know you aren't keen on cutting out all those foods but continued exposure to foods they are allergic to can cause the reactions to become worse. I would definitely cut out some of things that have come back like the cows milk and the soy and the preservatives. We are completely preservative, colour, flavouring and any other sort of additive free and its not that hard to do.
Spencer is also soy, milk, egg, nut and strawberry free. Oh and also onions and parsnips
You soon get use to what you can and can't buy for them and how to adjust recipes to suit.

With the iron deficiency thing, eating foods the gut can't cope with can cause malabsorption of iron, I think the gluten one is particulary bad for doing that. Just something to consider.

I really hope you find some more answers, and hopefully a shorter list of things to avoid

Have you thought of seeing a naturopath, who can help devise a menu of foods you can safely give her.
Check packets as soy, milk and citrus are in a lot of things as flavour enhancers.

It does she suffers from hayfever though NikkiB, so I assuming that is the pollen/grass allergy!

I cannot believe what soy is in, it is in EVERYTHING! We just went to the supermarket to buy her some special food and soy is such a common thing, much more common than I ever thought!

I have also started her on Flaxseed Oil for children today, that was recommended in the report and came highly recommended from the Naturopath at our local Health World.

I have cut out all dairy products for two weeks now and her eczema is barely even there now.

well look on the bright side.... peanuts and eggs werent on the list...

apricots?
pears?
Melons?

and aspartame - thats good, one way to make sure she never wants to put that poison in her body...

I have heard about hair testing and have been advised that it is not recommend to be done for allergies testing because they can give you a poor or false results.
Skin pricks or RAST test is the best way for allergies from my experiences with medical biochemistry degree.

I agree with OPs that you should take child to allergy specialist or do this elimiation test yourself, by remove one food for three week then reintroduce to see what happening. Then you know which ones is the "true" allergy.
HTH

My nephew was is a similar situation with his eczema flaring up with different foods, his dad is a herbalist and got a blood sample sent off to the usa for testing and came back with similar type of results ranging from not so allergic to very allergic, he is now 13 so takes some responsibility in what he eats but was gluten, egg, dairy, high acid foods, honey, wheat were all in the high catagory, he also had a reaction to apples.  I also found out by defult that Anastasia reacts to egg whites very badly but she can eat the yolks, she is also old enough to tell me that the whites tasted yuck with a very funny look on her face.  We also found it interesting that my nephew could eat Oak Baked Beans but not Watties as there was an extra additive.

Good that so far it has only reacted with her skin and hasn't been life threatening, hopefully she will grow out of most of them
