DD2 has had major food issues ever since around 2 months. We're able to kinda pinpoint them all and by 12 months she was doing AWESOME. In Dec we started a gluten trial in hopes of having her tested for celiac, 3 months later and GI didn't feel she was having enough symptoms so decided testing wasn't necessary (what did he know, he wasn't around her every day for those 3 months. She OBVIOUSLY doesn't do well with gluten!) Feeling frustrated we decided to forget about doctors and just go gluten free again. We saw huge improvements immediately but now, almost 2 months later, she is having what seems like some food allergy problems. It's so frustrating! She already doesn't eat any gluten, casein, soy, eggs, or oats.
Well, Sat night I made some quinoa and chickpea stuff and it really bothered my stomach so I was afraid it would bother hers as well (she ate some and we're still nursing). She seemed fine, then Sun afternoon she ate some hummus and broke out in a rash on her face (it was red everywhere the hummus touched her face). Today she is hoarse/raspy, her eyes are red, and she's pooped 3 times (which is a lot for her, she's usually lucky to go once a day) which had a lot of mucous in it.
She's obviously having a reaction here. I guess I'm just wondering if this sounds like IgE or IgG mediated? I'm hesitant to take her to an allergist because I know the testing is not always accurate but I'm starting to get overwhelmed here. We were doing so good before the gluten challenge and now I feel like we're back at square one! Any advice would be much appreciated! :)
