Hi,
I am very newly being introduced to a young 6 year old child who suffers from anaphylaxis to Dairy, Wheat,Gluten & Sulphite. She is touch reactant. Her father and I got involved with each other approximately 4 months ago. And although he has spent numerous hours educating me, and showing me the ropes on how to shop for his daughter and ensure her safety on all aspects, I am still beyond nervous. You see his daughter lives with her mother full time and we live in a completely different area. Although I have had short interaction with her, I have never been placed in a situation where my partner will not be present at all times during visits.
This weekend that is about to change, on the 20th we will have her for 3 whole days, she is very much aware and conscious of her allergies, and I am beyond nervous, I am trying to ensure that nothing takes place that could cause her to react, Shopping is the hardest part. My daughter is touch reactant to life! Does anyone have any tips on how I could not only ease her fears (although she openly voices she has non), and let her know that I am going to try 1000% to keep her safe, as well as my own. Any pointers will be helpful, my partner works full time as a towe truck driver and is on call around the clock.
On top of being anaphylaxis, she also suffers from Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome and needs to take over 8000 (i think i quoted that number right) pro-biotics every morning just in order for her system to function regularily.
If anyone knows of a resource list that has ALL of the dairy related food groups, as well as wheat, gluten and sulphite that would be great, my partner knows them, and he knows what he is looking for but we cant seem to find a refined search list of these products so that i can properly educate myself on the subject as well.
