How did I miss it?

We’ve been dealing with Kaelyn’s allergies for a year and a half, and I feel like we’ve been doing pretty well with it. But then the other night I was having major reflux issues, so I was taking Tums like candy. I started to worry that I was taking too many, so I looked at the label. And, it jumps out at me “contains milk, gluten (wheat)”. I have looked at that label at least ten times since Kaelyn’s allergies were diagnosed. How did I miss that? Ahhhhhh!!!!!!! So, now every time Kaelyn has been bothered by reflux, I’ve been giving her a medicine that contains two things that she’s allergic to. Fortunately, she hasn’t had too many reflux issues and sometimes she asks for the “medicine that you drink” (mylanta), so she hasn’t gotten many Tums, but still, I feel awful!

Those TUMS labels are tricky. We almost gave some to Ben the other day with milk in them. I didn’t realize you had to peel back the outer label to get the whole list of ingredients. All that to say, you weren’t the only one duped by it. Don’t feel bad. We bought the exact same kind we always used, just a different flavor. Weird!!

i did this exact same thing! Naomi pointed it out to me! i missed the other side of the label. so when Trace was on zegerid, i was mixing it with tums, and giving him something he couldnt tolerate. i felt like such an when Naomi told me, because i couldnt believe that i missed it. i know Trace was fussy on zegerid and i couldnt pinpoint it to anything-but now it all makes sense. nataliachick72007-4-21 15:25:33

Bugger, Bugger, Bugger as we say in Aussie. At least you have spotted it now. Isn’t it funny how she asked for the mylanta…maybe she knew that she didn’t feel quite right with those Tums. Clever little bunny’s aren’t they.
