Mommy Gatekeeper

It's funny how drastically different two medical opinions can be.  Yesterday, I called the allergists office first, spoke with a nurse (I think...), who told me to stop giving her beans immediately, watch her respiration, give her an antihistamine, and take her to the ER if I notice anything alarming.  Immediately afterwards, I called my pediatrician's office, who told me that it was most likely a form of heat rash.  Since Claire wasn't having any GI troubles and her body was exposed to more heat, sunblock and sweat than usual, they felt confident that I should continue to feed her beans.  I guess this is a perfect example of Mommy Gatekeeper... It was my call (that's a lot of responsibility for the person who initially blamed FPIES for a bladder infection and now heat rash).  I sided with the pediatrician on this one.  So, I've been keeping her indoors, in airy clothing and free from any topical moisturizers-- and we've been chowing down on beans!
