Food Allergies

It's been a few years since the girls were tested for their food allergies.  We finally saw the pediatric allergist today, after a 6-month wait.  Both girls did the prick test on their arms and both were itching, scratching and complaining.  The conclusion:   Jas is allergic to peanut and grass.  Julia is allergic to peanut, grass, weeds and dust mites.

Interesting - no wonder both of their asthma acted up when they played soccer over the summer.  They are both allergic to grass!  I guess no more soccer for them.  Little Jules gets to buy special covers for her mattress, pillow and duvet, to avoid dust mites.  Another thing on our shopping list.

My dad is allergic to grass too. A difficult one to control.
