But, what did help is NAET. I know a guy in WI that does it VERY reasonably and will teach you how to do it. On my page there is a link i put there for "allergy help" which explains the technique and then if you are interested in giving it a try you can call me or try someone in your area. Timothy is allergy free. I'm serious. He used to be skin and bone because he was so wracked with coughing all the time etc etc...sorry to take up so much room but I just wanted you to know what helped us!!Ethelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820474434570491220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492782693766004735.post-69535441531823401312008-01-09T16:25:00.000-06:002008-01-09T16:25:00.000-06:00Frozen grapes is a really good idea.

If she gets tired of the same snacks, try having her fix them herself, or serve them different (in a paper muffin cup, or a kabob/popsicle stick). Sorry, thats all I can think of!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045831538243707493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492782693766004735.post-39391135476290415822008-01-09T12:35:00.000-06:002008-01-09T12:35:00.000-06:00Allergy shots are only for environmental allergies...Allergy shots are only for environmental allergies, and from what I understand they are just to help a person through the allergy season.

They give sublingual drops that eventually build up the bodies immunity to allergens. Expensive, but our insurance paid more than I thought they would for it. It might be worth looking into, anyway.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920307943803179052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492782693766004735.post-36037827121021317632008-01-09T10:46:00.000-06:002008-01-09T10:46:00.000-06:00Yummy, I think I'll have to make some "spicy" humm...Yummy, I think I'll have to make some "spicy" hummus today.

I do make hummus, but Ayla thinks it's too spicy. I guess I'll have to use less garlic.

I was going to suggest "ants on a log," but that involves dried raisins. You could leave the raisins off though. Or, my kids love avocado slices. How about some homemade hummus with veggies? I use sunflower butter in place of the tahini the recipe suggests.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920307943803179052noreply@blogger.com
