Food allergies - who can we see??......

[minimatron]

Hey Tan- thats great you got an appointment but its a shame it takes so long. Fortunately we got onto the cancellation list and saw the dr within 3 weeks.

Olivia is allergic to yeast. I have tried so many creams and ointments....I have a whole pharmacy in my cupboard. Pawpaw worked for a short time, so did bepanthan. She had an underlying bacterial infection as well, so after abs and hydrozole (combination antifungal/crotisone cream) its started clearing up. The only problem is it has stayed dry and cracks, so we put qv cream on as soon as we see it looking dry. Its hard to say what works...trial and error.

Good luck

Melissa

Tan, unfortunately I think 6 months is pretty standard with allergists I hope you have better luck with some of the others.

Thanks ladies - I do have some Cortisone cream but because it was so close to her mouth I was worried she would lick it! I caught it early though and the paw paw has helped and no rash today. I am keeping a food diary for her too so we can look back and see what could have triggered any flare ups.
