Allergic

For years, almost as long as I can remember, Emma has complained of stomach aches. About 3 weeks ago her teachers came to me and said that every day {with out fail} Emma Lynn was complaining of stomach aches. In both Spanish and English week. I didn't know it was going so much at school also. At that point I knew we needed to do something more. I made an appointment with our Doctor and after lots of questions and an exam we started treating her for Gastristic {infamed stomach.} After 2 weeks of the med we were to come back in for a follow up. We didn't see a huge improvement. On the second week I got a call from the school that Emma was having a lot of stomach pain and so we set off to get her. When I got to the school the principal spoke with me. Her daughter had similar struggles and ended up having an allergy to milk. After the conversation I decided to take her off milk and all dairy products for the rest of the week "just to see..." It was a very simple test and it didn't hurt to try. Emma Lynn has not had ONE single stomach ache since! We are 3 weeks stomach ache free. YAY for Emma! This is huge for her. We are still trying to get use to the dos and don't of a milk allergy and will start trying soy and almond milk for substitutes.
