I've never really explained why my son can't have dairy.  For a long time I've looked at it as a personal detail about him and I've intentionally kept it vague for his privacy. Some people choose to share a lot of information about their children on their blogs, and while their faces and names are very much a part of Poppy Haus, I try to keep their personalities and private information out of the conversation.  With that said, I've decided to talk about this aspect of his life today, as part of a larger discussion about feeding kids with food allergies.
