NO ALLERGIES!?

As Quinn turns 2 she has a few doctor appointments to attend.  First one that was scheudled was her allergiest appointment.  We were going back for a 3rd round of allergy skin testing.  We again were prepared for a long appointment not knowing what the outcome would be.  We had the docotor run test on: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, wheat, soy, fish, dogs, cats and eggs.  As it turns out Quinn had NO positive test results which means any previous allergies that she had did not show up this time around!  What exciting news for Quinn!!!  We discussed the next step with the milk allergy. 

Since milk never came up positive on her skin test it was something we knew that her gut could not handle.  Now that she is 2 it was time to start a milk challenege.  Since Quinn does eat food that is made with milk and seems to handle it accordingly we were asked to try a few new products.  First up was greek yogurt!  Quinn for some reason enjoys the taste of greek yogurt so we figured this was the best food to start with.  She was given 4 spoonfuls to feed herslef.  Of course some it landed in her mouth while other spoonfuls ended up all over.  Once she ate 3-4 good spoonfuls we waited a few hours to notice any change or issues.  Quinn passed the first milk challenege with no tummy issues.  She has tried greek yogurt a few more times plus a few rounds of string cheese.  So far no major tummy issues!  We will eventually try small doses of cow's milk but to be honest I am not quite ready for that yet.
