Olivia's Allergy

On Saturday morning after Olivia ate breakfast she started to break out. Her hands swelled up and turned red. After a few mins she broke out in hives all over her body. We had no idea what caused this but we figured it was because of what she ate. The only thing is that she had been eating the same thing almost every morning for months. We gave her some benadryl and they started to clear up so we went to Galveston. Later that day she had a vanilla wafer and took a nap at my moms house. When she woke up we noticed that the same thing had happen again so we gave her more benadryl. When we got home that night we wrote down the ingredients in all the things she ate right before she broke out. Sunday morning we ate pancakes and syrup and in a few mins it happen again. The only ingredient everything had in common was corn or corn bi product so we figured that she is allergic to corn and it's bi products. Monday we took her to the doctor to get her blood tested for allergies and we are still waiting for the results. Since we figured that out we have not given her anything with those ingredients, which surprisingly is a lot of stuff. It has taken days but her hives are now gone and we are taking measures to make sure they don't come back. Unfortunately that means no eating out for her, we hope that she grows out of this. Below are some pic I took of her face before the hives were completely gone.
