Our oldest daughter was on a restricted diet because of her food allergies. She was having constant canker sores and even reacting to vegetables with Vitamin C. She was diagnosed with these allergies when she was two years old, but we believe she’d had them since she was an infant. She was treated for Vitamin C, and the canker sores went away. She found she could eat an orange and not get a canker sore. She was then treated for nuts, dairy, and soy. Just a little dairy would set off an ear infection, but since she was treated, she’s had lots of dairy and not one ear infection. She ended up getting a canker sore over the holidays from mint. She had not had that treatment yet. We had her treated for canker sores, and the next day it was gone! Before treatments, she always had to bring her own food to birthday parties, potlucks, etc. She always felt excluded from everyone else. The fact that she could eat what everyone else was having was, for her, the best Christmas present ever!
