Child allergies.....?

until you can get her tested it is best to avoid all soy products including the oil. The easiest way to do this is to cook from scratch and use frozen not canned vegetables. By the way health wise chicken or ground beef would be better than hot dogs. Hot dogs have a lot of preservatives and additives that can cause allergic reactions too. If you want to see what she is allergic to food wise then give her one of the suspect foods and watch her for any skin rashes. Also watch for an increase in mucus production and if she gets diarhea. If any of these or a difficult breathing occurs then it is likely she is allergic. Make a list and let the doctor know what the reaction to each one was. Test one food a week so that her body has a chance to get rid of any of the tried food from her system before a new one is introduced. If a reaction seems severe give benadryl and call the doctor. I know its hard to kind foods until testing is done but with practice it can be done.

hot dogs are really really bad! There are thingsi n there that not only will contribute to developping allergies but cause brain problems and other health issues. Try mac and cheese (you can get rice noodles- no wheat) mix in some frozen peas and a can of tuna- you can add cheese if you like . You can get some tortillas (may daughter is allergic to wheat and corn so I buy rice tortilla wraps- they are very good) and make a tuna, turkey, or chicken and cheese wrap. Make what I call a 'hash' brown some ground beef, cube some potatoes and add that. I like to saute onions and garlic and throw that in with some sliced carrots. I will also shred resh spinach and slice some mushrooms to toss in it- cook until the potatoes are tender- you can add or leave out vegetables according to your taste. My daughter is allergic to just about every form of corn but has not had a problem with corn oil. I have a friend whose daughter is severely allergic to peanuts but has never had a problem with things friend in peanut oil. I am sure there are other cases that are different. If she is not allergic to these things- the oil is not going to cause an allergy and I would not worry too much about it. If she is allergic then I would be sure to avoid these things as much as possible. You should try to cook more from scratch- it was at first a little intimidating for me as I was never a whiz in the kitchen , but fresh fruits and veggies are much better than canned and cooking from scratch puts you in control over what goes into oyur childs body. don't be afraid to experiment- the internet is full of sites with wonderful recipes and tips about what to substitute in place of the common allergens.

My son has allergies, way more than your girl. If she is getting a rash still, it is not from outside allergies its food. It should clear up if you take the food away, if not then she is still eating something she shouldn't be. A fresh rash is bright red a clearing up rash is more skin coloured. Yes soy oil is a no no. Use other oils. Pre-packaged food is not good anyway. Cut out the fruit as a test to see because it is known to cause rashes in kids even without allergies it is harsh on sensitive skin. She needs rice, rice is hypoallergenic. Erewhan organic krispy rice cereal has no gluten my son loves them. Rice pasta is great and tasty. There are rice cakes made by nestle for toddlers that are bite size. Use rice flour to make home made foods, breading meats, making breads, there are egg, and cornstarch (baking powder) substitutes on the net. There are other gluten free grains like amaranth and quinou but are less tasty than rice. Rice even makes an oil (Rice bran oil) very good but expensive. Also brown rice syrup is sweet and good for you it has minerals other sugars don't. Try it on or in your recipies instead of sugar give it with pancakes instead of maple or corn syrup (aunt jemima) because they could cause allergic reactions too. Eggs are a no no, milk is not a common allergy more intolerance. Wheat is not good for the body, (known to cause crohns disease).
