In the past 10 days since my child has started to eat "normal" foods again I have seen a 2 asthma flare ups. During the 1 month when no processed foods were allowed into our diet despite allergies and a cold (both proven in past to send K to hospital with severe asthma attacks) no asthma flare ups occured. It is a bit disturbing to me that within 3 days of stopping the strict regimen of all homemade foods K had breathing issues unaccompanied by any other known trigger.
I am not a doctor, but, it is seeming to me that this needs to be considered by our team of doctors. Although food allergy testing was done and no conclusive allergies found I am beginning to believe that K may have an allergy or at least a sensitivity to a food additive ro preservative.
So, with this new information I am determined to dig deeper and see what this may turn up! For now, although I am accepting some help from store bought items I am paying close attention to what ingredients are listed and if it is not something I could make in my kitchen I am not buying it. Hopefully this alone will prove beneficial to K and if not, we will cut back totally again and see if we can pin point a precise trigger. Wish us luck!!!
