I am not surprised at
the outcome. How can we say that this baby healed simply b/c we see no
more symptoms? I also rarely buy the argument that kids outgrow these
allergies-- I think the symptoms just become more accepted as normal.
Even more importantly though are the typical problems that moms have
under these circumstances--first the assumption, especially by doctors,
that mothers cannot/will not do these things for their babies and
secondly that the doctors involved ignore the real problem, which is
the mother's own gut health. Note that the mom in NJ commented that she
personally never felt better in her life than on the elimination diet.
Bet no one encouraged her to stay on it, though.

To try to ease her nursing daughter's severe digestive problems, Associated. 

Press writer Rebecca Boone tried eating only a handful of foods and adding 

new ones, one at a time."
