Yes, it doesn't make any sense that she doesn't react at all to Lucy but does to anything containing milk products touching her skin. We still have her epi-pens on hand just in case.

Well the results overall are good :-)

Yeay! Sometimes kids don't make sense. Jayce got little bumps like hives for almost a year and we tried everything in the world to figure it out - hadn't changed soap, watched her food, took her to an allergist and got her back poked a gazillion times, etc... then suddenly all gone. ??? I'm glad Sofia won't miss out on ice cream after all! :)

Out of curiosity, do you know what company did the allergy panel?

You'd think she'd be okay with ice cream one day but she also shows signs of being lactose intolerant. That's not on the allergy testing.

Being allergic to milk means her body reacts to the milk protein... the lactose is another story... :(
