DD1 was always a very high needs baby, always nursing or crying, rarely sleeping. She always had a red ring around her anus and 'allergic shiners' around her eyes but I didn't know what they were. She was 1.75 years old when she started getting eczema. By the time she was 2, she was covered in eczema, on her hands, face, all over her body. She was still about 90% bf at this point, she did not eat much food. I tried an elim diet, I couldn't figure out any allergies so we went to an allergist. DD1 was tested for 7 foods that day, she didn't break out in the alloted 15-20 minutes, I left the appointment drove 1/2 mile down the road when she started screaming. She was covered from head to toe in hives.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/greensad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="greensad"> The allergist said that was not related to the testing, um yeah right. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/irked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="irked">: <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/irked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="irked">: She had hives for over a week.<br><br>
At this point I definately knew she has allergies butl had no idea what they were. I started looking into other forms of allergy testing and came across kinesiology, and then found a NAET <a href="http://www.naet.com/" target="_blank">http://www.naet.com/</a> practitioner near me, so we went in there. DD1 was allergic so many things that I could not begin to list them, she had numerous food, enviromental, and chemical allergies. We started treating her, with NAET you can resolve the allergy, her eczema started to disappear, the red ring, her black eyes, dd1 actually started sleeping more,she started eating food, and her behavior changed, I literally have a different child now. During the treatment I could tell when she came into contact with a new allergen, her behavior would change back, she would stop sleeping again, and if we were in contact with the allergen long enough, she start getting eczema again. DD1 is almost 4 now and has no allergies at all.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbs up">
