Update on my lactose-intolerant daughter

My wife took our oldest daughter to the allergy doctor the other day, hoping to get a complete analysis of her allergies. We'd thought she was allergic to milk and perhaps wheat, but upon speaking with the doc, he tells her that instead of being allergic to milk, she was simply lactose-intolerant. This made a lot of sense to us, after the fact. And since we'd already been restricting her diet and had seen vast improvements in her energy and health, the doc recommend we make no further changes.

They came home and I muscle tested my daughter for the food allergy remedy. Lo and behold, she didn't test for it. So, now, we take the slightly more restrictive diet approach and hope that she might grow out of her sensitivity.

What a trooper that girl is...

Take care everyone.
