It's The MILK!
This afternoon we saw the pediatritian and we talked about the bloodwork that was done on Maddy. She, indeed, has a peanut allergy, but what was very shocking was the dairy allergy! He said the numbers were off the charts! THAT'S what's been causing her wheezing. He said people react to a dairy sensitivity differently. Some will breakout, some will have vomiting, others will have a never ending cough and have wheezing. Well, that's Maddy! It all makes sense! She was on Soy formula for a while but was switched to a milk based formula in November. THAT was when all the breathing problems started. I feel horrible because here we're giving her milk based formula and then giving her breathing treatments because of the wheezing.
Now she's strictly on Soy and we're following up with the pulminologist on the 19th, and absolutely NO peanut. We can't even touch it and then touch her.
I feel very sad. Her life has just changed.

awww...Poor baby! Is there a chance that she will outgrow these allergies? Will she need to drink soy milk after she's a year old?
We just started giving Sariah cheese and yogurt last week. She loves it!
I don't know. We have gotten rid of all peanut butter. We can't even eat it because she can't be around it.
But I am not taking ANY chances. She will not have anything dairy. We're sticking with Soy.
I am glad you found out what she is allergic too! I am glad it is not Molly!!
I knew it couldn't be Molly because Maddy's had her since she's been born.
I am glad you have figured it out. Allergies can be outgrown and new ones can develop. I have a nut allergy too although I am not sure if I have outgrown it because I don't want to take any chances. Also, I have been battaling sinus infections and congestions over the past year or so. I am thiking I should go for an allergy test and see if they can figure it out. The sad thing is when I went home at Christmas time I figured theres prob an 80% chance that I am allergic to the dogs although in past years I have never had a problem around dogs.
