about 10 minutes ago as i was floundering around on the living room floor doing pilates, ida walked around the corner with an unidentified object in her hand. her mouth was chocolatey and so were her hands, deduction: she has been holding/eating that for a while... the luna bar i had been eating for breakfast. half gone??!!!! ingredients?!?!
rice flour, brown rice oil, soy rice crisps, blah blah blah. probably every combination of RICE known to mankind.
NOW. you can imagine my horror.
she is actually meeting with the folks at the childrens hospital on the 21st and 24th for such things. like, a medically monitored food trial in case things go down the wrong road.
looks like i have 1:45 minutes to see what happens. i better throw her in the shower so that she is prepared for the ER.
if you have no idea why eating rice is such a big, fat deal, go here and here and here. and then look around some more. there is more, i just don't have time to link it all, i've got to get ready for the ER too.
UPDATE: all is well! no reaction! waited and waited and saw a doctor, gave her history, the doctor said they just had a internal seminar on FPIES and Ida was their case study! hilarious. anyho, it's all good, will still do the official rice trial later this month but i think we have a winner here. ya-hoooo!

She has been craving rice for so long she just couldn't resist that "RICE" filled bar. Silly Ida. Glad she is doing ok!

It looks like she may have outgrown the sensitivity in style. Mom
Wonderful news!! Next time I see her I am going to share one of my favorite treats.....a big plate of rice krispie treats!
Yeah Ida. Good going. Hope the food trial is as successful. I'll bet she enjoyed every bite. Glad to hear the flu bug has departed.
Love you all.
