I would have thought you can check for a reaction by eating soy yourself, if she is exclusively BF? Mind you, there is soy in so much that we eat, she is probably been exposed all the time. Has she had troubles with YOU eating dairy? Or has it only been once you've introduced it to HER diet? Is that what they're concerned about with the soy? Do you have to do that challenge soon?
Sorry, I've taken this way off track!
You have my sympathies, it is very hard trying to work out what they can and can't have. In some ways it gets easier, but it's always THERE, you know? I'm going nuts just starting to introduce solids to DS2!
She seems ok with me eating dairy and has only had the reaction upon digesting herself, today she had a reaction just from 'touching' spilt milk so she seems quiet sensitive BUT the Dr said the amount of dairy she would actually get through me is minimal and does nto seem to be affecting her.
His suggestion is to try tiny amount of soy formula rubbed inside her lip, if she tolerates it give her 1ml of formula, the next day 2ml etc and see how she goes.
We go back in 6mths and will be re-tested and then they will decide if they want to do the food challenge, at this stage they didn't want to as the skin p***k test came back qujiet quickly with the milk reaction and she had been admitted to hospital before upon eating yoghurt so they said it was quite clear and they don't want to subject her to the testing just yet, they would prefer we stear clear of dairy products and re-assess.
It is REALLY hard especially as DD1 is one of those rare children that LIKES sharing with her sister so we have to be VERY careful, also with the kids at MG etc.
