Tackling food allergies

Kahya woke up this morning with some eczema on his faces. It is on his corner of his left eye, right eyebrow, right chin, and on both lower arms. It could be from the Blackcurrant ice tea he drank the other day after he finish playing at the PlayMall. Or it could also be from the Elle&Vire YagGo yogurt we tried on these past few days.

I am thinking of going completely Casein Free again for another 2 weeks to see if it will bring improvement to his hyperactivity and frequent tip-toe walking. This is a good link of how to start a Gluten Free Casein Free (GFCF) diet:

What I am afraid of going completely Casein Free is that he will be calcium deficit. I am now supplementing him with 1 tsp of Osteocare which contains Calcium 150mg, Magnesium 75mg, Zinc 3mg, Vit D3 1.9 mcg. But I think I will give it a go starting tomorrow. As of supplement, he is now still on 1/2 tsp CLO from ChildLife and I added 1/2 tsp of Liquid Vitamin C (125mg).

As for Kakak, I am suspecting a Yeast Overgrowth as he is still tip-toe walking despite all the therapy and progress he is making in speech. This is a good link of checklist when something is does not seem quite right:

Kakak is scheduled to see Dr. Ira on Monday January 7th for his 3-months evaluation. I am hoping to hear some good news. I will also discuss the congestion on his nose and possible yeast overgrowth with advice on good probiotics.
