I'm so glad that Trixie is doing better 😍

We are moving tomorrow so I didn't have time to read all the comments but was wondering how Trixie was tested for food allergies? Nikki sees Dermatology at Texas A&M and I was told that testing for food allergies is less than 5% accurate and basically a waste of money. Only way to find out what food they are reacting to is to do an elimination diet. I'm attaching a video that explains it really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiOafopcLzs

You're doing a fabulous job with Trixie, hang in there.

Nikki was diagnosed with EPI in 2010
Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat canned
Slippery Elm syrup for stomach issues
1 tsp Pan-Tenex enzymes with each meal
Weekly B12 shots, pills didn't work for her
Tylan for life
