Where's the Beef?

Have you ever heard of someone being allergic to beef? Me neither! Until now, that is... During Caden's pulmonology appointment on April 23, his doctor did a round of allergy testing. He has been tested in the past and we knew he was allergic to milk products. This hasn't been difficult for us to avoid since we rarely have milk products in our home. But Caden's new doctor recommends having testing done every couple years to determine if any new allergies/reactions have developed.

I certainly wasn't expecting Caden to react to beef! But apparently he is highly allergic to beef. I guess that means he can't eat anything having to do with cows or things made from cow's milk. Again, the beef allergy doesn't really affect us because we are vegetarian and don't eat any meat. But I just find the whole thing very strange! The Pulmonologist said is was pretty uncommon for anyone to be allergic to beef, particularly to react this strongly. Leave it to Caden to find yet another way to be unique!
