Answer 2

Sheesh, seems like your daughter is allergic to protein!

Make sure she drinks plenty of milk as it is a decent source of protein. Cheese is also a good source. I also would suggest every other legume besides the ones you listed "soy beans, peanuts, and tree nuts". Honestly though....I kinda think all beans contain soy so you may want to stay away from them entirely. Corn is good. Also try substituting whole-grain instead of wheat like rye, oats, millets, and barley. Tuna and other fish would be an excellent source of protein. Obviously, all fruits and veggies appear safe besides peas and they will provide some protein. I might also suggest getting her some Ensure, not only does it taste really good but it will help her meet her daily requirements.

Adult women require roughly 46 grams of protein a day. Your daughter needs even more as she is growing and protein is very important to development.

I would also suggest seeing a good nutritionist, they should know the ins and outs about everything. Usually, they are very educated.

I wish you the best as it will be somewhat difficult for your daughter, but medical advancements are well underway...one day she'll be able to eat what she wants.

i'm 23 years old and i'm allergic to a whole list of foods also. what has your doctor recommended? my allergies cause hives, and i take an antihistamine twice a day to control my hives, and i try to avoid the foods that i'm allergic to. but the antihistamines are there incase i slip up and eat something i wasn't supposed to. i'm allergic to tomato (among other things) and sometimes you just want a slice of pizza. haha.
i've heard about kids being gradually allowed to have bits of the food they're allergic to and eventually they outgrow it. unfortunately, my allergies didn't start until after puberty, so i'm still suffering from itchy hives.
talk to your doctor about options. in the meantime, maybe try some of the soy alternatives. i've heard they are pretty good. get a babysitter when you go to the grocery store because you'll be reading labels for a while. have you thought of putting venicin on a bun and telling her it's a hamburger? haha. good luck to you and i hope i was of a little bit of help.

Answer 4

Try getting some organic vegetables and meats as everything in a supermarket is processed with chemicals that children are very susceptible to. Even though raw milk has been toted as illegal in most states, if you get it from a farmer, it has enough natural bacteria (the ones that lives in your intestine tracts) and nutrients a child needs. No soy, wheat or anything that you just mentioned are not compromised. Try getting foods without pesticides, additives, genetically modified which means conventional stores are out of the question. I would stick with either a Trader Joe's if you have one where you live or a farmer's market.

If you don't believe, please read what's on this website.

Answer 5

Can she eat pork or tuna? A lot of the foods you mentioned are high in protein. You may need to consult a dietician to help you plan a diet for her. If she does not get enough protein, she will become ill. I am allergic to poultry and eggs, but I can eat other meats and nuts.

Answer 6

Food allergies may lead to Atopic dermatitis or Asthma. Avoid the foodstuff that may be allergic to the child. Keep a record of the foods given and the allergic response to such foods.

Answer 7

I am not trying to be a smart alec when I ask this so please read the entire response.
Are you sure she is really allergic to all those foods. When I worked in health care a doctor's mother went to an allergist, and he told her she was allergic to a whole host of things just as your child is.
When she told her son (the doctor), he asked her what did she expect, they give you a small shot with a solution in it, of course it is going to cause a reaction.
She continued eating everything she was supposed to be allergic to, with no ill effects.

Answer 8

try fruits and vegetables, low carb puddings and things like you would eat if on a strict diet. then ask your doc about what she might be able to eat. just make sure u have Benadryl on hand in case anything else should happen.
