After 1 year of constipation, 4 months of diarrhea, 3 Swedish hospital visits, 1 US hospital stay, 2 enimas, 1 urine test, 1 poop test, 1 blood test, 3 pediatricians, 2 dietists, 279 sleepless nights, 3 different milks, constant diet control and a lifetime of wondering what intestional problem my daughter might have....
We found out yesterday that Olivia is allergic to eggs.
And do you want to know how hard the test was? 4 drops on the arm, 4 pricks, 8 seconds. Wait 15 min. Done. And the test was administered by a nurse, not even a doctor.
WHY WEREN'T WE OFFERED THIS TEST ONE YEAR AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both the American and Swedish system have messed up big time!

Wow, how do you avoid eggs? They're kind of in everything.
I remember someone in college having an allergic reaction to a vaccine b/c eggs were used in its production.
