I've neglected you, dear blog, but I have an excuse! I thought I would be returning to say that I am no longer soy free and my recipes and ideas would be getting a lot more creative and varied. We started Evan on a daily dose antihistimine to calm his system. We don't even know if I have eliminated all of his allergens since we aren't sure that we've identified them all. We were also hoping that with this antihistimine I ould be able to add soy back into my diet and Evan wouldn't be affected. Nope. Not happening. That would be waaay too easy! The medicine seems to be taking the edge off, but it's no miracle. So I don't have to be too worried about the occasional slip up, but I do need to stay on the limited diet.
Evan has started solids, so he was, inevitably, fed his first pretzel with soy butter by his big brother. The direct ingestion is wore than ingestion through my milk, and it has made me more aware of the fact that I will have to cook for him as long as this allergy lasts. Even if I can eat dairy and soy when he weans (in 2-3 years!). At least I'll have this blog for ideas!
Sneak peek of what's to come- Soft pretzels, kettle corn, wheat bread, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, and maybe even some dinner type foods. Stay tuned!
