This is indeed Connell taking a big bite out of a piece of colby-jack cheese! I talked to the nurse at the allergist's office today and his dairy test came back negative! The doctor has approved that we slowly introduce dairy products into Connell's diet and see how he tolerates them. He was so excited to have a piece of cheese (after 10 1/2 months of absolutely no dairy -- no Goldfish crackers, no chocolate chip cookies, no milk chocolate at all, no sour cream dip, no mashed potatoes, no prepared gravy, no Cheez-Its crackers, no yogurt, no Nilla wafers, no sherbet, no ice cream, no pudding, no McDonald's French fries, no pizza, no product with the slightest amount of dairy in the ingredient list. It's been tough especially when eating out and going to others' houses to eat.
Connell still has tree nut and peanut allergies which alter his diet, but nothing compared to this hurdle! Hooray!
