The results are in!

On September 11th, we returned to Dr. Natural's office, anxious to learn the fate of my diet. I'd lost 4 lbs in the last three weeks and the redness around my nose appeared to be fading.

First, she revealed Ella's IgE test results (<0.35>Cockroach: 0.50

Dog Dander: 1.36

Egg White: 17.30

Milk: 0.76

Peanut: 36.10

Soybean: 7.30

Wheat: 0.66

And my IgG test results:

• Almond (+1)
• Celery (+1)
• Cherry (+1)
• Coco-Chocolate (+1)
• Coconut (+1)
• Corn (+1)
• Eggplant (+1)
• Grape (+1)
• Milk, Cow's (+1)
• Mushroom (+1)
• Oat (+1)
• Peanut (+4)
• Pineapple (+1)
• Radish (+1)
• Rice (+1)
• Rye (+1)
• Sesame (+1)
• Soybean (+1)
• Sunflower (+2)
• Tomato (+1)
• Wheat (+1)
• Yeast, Baker's (+2)
• Yeast, Brewer's (+3)

It looked like I was going to have to get used to being hungry. It was also a relief to know that Ella was allergic to dogs because it certainly explained why she would randomly break out in hives at the homes of friends & family who had pets!
