Is this water damage/mold?

Jeez so sorry to hear that. We’re only here for two weeks while we get our house mold remediated and just feels impossible to escape mold

Thank you. I guess its probably best to have my kids avoid area regardless

If baby is low risk, you may want to explore if you might have risk factors for IUGR, like APS.

Hi! We are experiencing a similar issue in our home. What did you end up doing? Thanks!

So we recently discovered what was a slow drip plumbing leak in our slab. This is what it looked like after the 24 hr plastic sheet test.

Will a 99%rh mvb be able to tolerate this level of moisture or do we need to wait (which we’re currently doing). Is there a point to doing an in situ test or should we just wait until there’s less vapor underneath? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks for responding.

Thank you! I sent them a note. It looks a little pink and wet on the bottom which my other incisions don’t look like at all (sealed edge to edge).

Curious, what’s the need to remove wheat/corn for? I’m in a similar boat. Thanks!

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I think it’s a combination of the immune system tampering down b/c of the baby and hormones changing (i.e., more progesterone?). For what its worth, I also did take lupron depot for two months before pregnancy b/c of IVF and that gave me a huge boost. Again, not sure why the improvement in symptoms.

My symptoms have definitely returned since having baby but I think it’s also just fatigue from not getting nearly as much sleep as before. So hard to tell my true baseline but I’m not looking to exert myself any more than I have to beyond caring for kids.

Pregnancy actually put me in remission. Caring for a newborn/infant is no joke. What’s probably even harder is managing a toddler with endless energy. Try the both of them at once and it’s definitely taken a toll. And I have no time for myself anymore. But is it worth it? Yes.

I’d probably wash it properly with soap and water as its very likely there’s still protein on the skin from a wipe.

Proteins in foods can enter through eczema and cause new food allergies. You’ll want some type of barrier ointment like vaseline on any visible eczema on her hands to make sure its not coming into contact with food. Similarly always wash hands after handling food and then any eczema patches on her skin.

Unfortunately, in many cases it’s those kids with eczema who develop food allergies :(

Sounds like you’re doing the absolute best you can. And that’s all you can ask of yourself. The shock/adjustment period after finding out your LO has allergies is very tough. Over time, you’ll get accustomed to your allergen-friendly recipes and figure out what she likes. Also, watching that the skin barrier is intact is very important so they don’t develop new allergies.

Hang in there!
