“No Girl Should Be Allergic to Chocolate!”
By michelle | March 3, 2010
After an appointment with an allergist, we have discovered that
Spunky is allergic to chocolate.
As the nurse said, “that’s not fair! No girl should be allergic to chocolate!”
But Spunky is.
It is also very likely that she is lactose intolerant, so for the next four weeks, she is on a strict dairy-free diet. If during that time, she does not have any of her previous symptoms, then that will ascertain that she is lactose intolerant. However, if she continues to have symptoms, the problem may be in her GI tract. We will continue to monitor her and, hopefully, this one visit to the allergist will have answered our questions once and for all.

Oh, poor lamb ! But if it makes her GI symptoms improve, it will be worth it…..

You might find that, after taking away dairy, chocolate might be o.k. Or, she might just be o.k. with dark chocolate. You never know with food. . .Good luck!

what about dark chocolate? I sure hope the diet takes care of all that is ailing her. The nurse was right…that is wrong for ANY girl to be allergic to chocolate. Hugs and prayers…
