Make your own with pears! Let them ripen till yellow and soft, peal and

core them, cut up into small pieces, place in a pot, add a small amount of

water and boil till translucent. Then just mash them.

Thanks Sue

I'll have by husband pick some up. We're also going to try and make our own

ice cream. I've been trying sherbert to see if she can tolerate it but no

luck.

Yeah, sherbert contains dairy. loves sorbet, but it's expensive. Of

course it depends on which fruits she can't have too.

What products are you trying to avoid for her? Is she gfcf?

She could be having reactions to lactose or the protein in dairy. Try

giving her the lactose free milk. If she reacts to that then you know it's

the protein. If it turns out to be the protein, you can try cutting out all

uncooked dairy and see if that works. I can't have milk, but I can have

puddings that are cooked with milk in them, certain ice creams, yogurt,

pizza with cheese, etc. The cooking seems to help break down the protein in

the dairy. Hopefully this will work for .

Must be nice! It's $3.49 for a pint of it here (about a 1/2 liter size, I

think). Ice cream is that price for 4 times the amount and sherbert is

$1.69 for twice the amount of the sorbet.

Thanks Sue. I'm going to test some things next weekend and see what I come

up with. I'm wondering if I should get rid of dairy or if I should try some

enymes.

I would say to find out if it's the dairy first, then eliminate the uncooked

products. If that helps, then you could try adding it back with the

enzymes.

I'm trying lactaid ice cream tonight. Should have results sometime this

week. If she reacts again then we'll be off to the allergist. My poor dr

office referral referral referral. She will of course need a Christmas

present all her own after this year

You might just want to do the remove and add testing rather than putting her

through allergy testing. When it comes to food allergies, the tests can

show negative even when an allergy is present. I was told the same can

happen with blood work for allergies. showed a highly allergic

reaction to dairy years ago, yet shows no response to the blood test. It

may have to do with the fact that it isn't a histamine producing reaction

that we're seeing (same with ) and that's what the scratch tests look

for.

Thought you might like to know,
