We have private insurance, and although we can keep our current company regardless of testing, if we wanted to change, she wouldn't be covered. But I have heard from friends that insurance through business/work is different. I do not want to put her back on gluten, so that's pretty much the decider for me. However, I was reading on a few other threads...

I'll second the rice pasta -- I cook it up with onions, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and tomatoes (in olive oil) -- you can also add tofu, if no one's adverse to it. We do the taco salad too, although we use ground turkey (which might not sit well with the vegetarian) -- but it's easy to do the meat separately and that person doesn't have to eat the...

That's interesting to hear, Juliet.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts -- it'll help us decide...

Thank you both for responding! The only reason we continue to wonder about testing is simply to know how serious her allergy is.

In fact, although my mom has some carb issues (and mild fibro myalgia), my daughter is the only one with food allergies on either side...

hi, All I've been reading through recent threads and enjoying all the learning. My daughter has not been diagnosed because we're hesitant to have her tested -- she'll be four in November (part of our concern is her age and what we've heard of inaccurate results); we also were told by two different insurance companies that they would not cover her if she...
