Dear K.,
It's such a good thing that you fond out about these food allergies early!
If you don't mind driving to Columbus for an appointment, I can recommend the best doctor for this kind of situation. Her name is Sandra Pinkham, and she began her medical career strictly as a pediatrician. She takes a naturopathic approach to treating her patients whenever possible, preferring to use diet and supplements to improve their health. If nedication is necessary, she isn't against it, but she does try to keep it to a minimum.
I am also allergic to dairy and wheat, and I avoid sugar at all costs. Since starting the diet Sandy prescribed for me, I feel like a new person!
Here's Sandy's information if you want to get in touch with her.:
Sandra Pinkham M.D.
2170 Riverside Dr.
Columbus OH 43221

Sandy has a very small private practice, so if no one answers the phone, they will get back to you ASAP. She cares deeply about each and every one of her patients, and she likes to spend a long time at the first appointment really getting to know them.
Please feel free to send me a private message if you want more information of support. I am currently helping to design the content of a web site about Sandy's health plan that will be up within the next few months. The site address will be: http://www.drsandydiet.com There will be pages there where people can share recipes, support each other, etc.
From my personal experience, and the experience of other Dr. Sandy patients I know, it's a good idea for all of us to avoid wheat, dairy, and sugar. It's a lot easier than it sounds, and I guarantee you it will improve your health, energy levels, and resistance to allergens.
Good luck!
