***Tanner Update***

After 3 months of no food, formula only Tanner is doing much better. He had an endoscopy on May 14th. and the results were awesome. There was 10 eos in the top of the esophagus (probably from environmental allergies) and 3 in the middle and 0 in the lower. This is a drastic improvement from 3 months ago when the numbers were 88,64 and 44.


We are starting food trials. Tanner will chose a food to trial for one month. Then he can pick another to trial for a month and so on. After 3 foods (and 3 months) he will have another endoscopy to see how his body is reacting to the food. If the results are good he gets to keep the 3 foods. If the results are high eos he will lose the 3 foods and we will have to start over again. We are staying away from rice, since I think rice is what was causing his problems before. We are also going to wait on introducing meat for a while. I asked Tanner what fruit or veggie he wanted to try first and his choice was apples. He has now been eating apples for 10 days and he seems to be doing great. He has already picked the next 2 foods, carrots and pickles. I am praying he will tolerate these foods so that we can continue on.



Tanner never fails to amaze me with his strength
