The Pukelet

it is with much sheep that i write about the sweet potatoes we again gave the pooklet, and the vomit those sweet potatoes again became. We found him, after only a couple cries (brave, brave, little pooklet), looking pathetic in a mess of potato.

pookie yesterday relayed to me the "load" theory of allergens which might explain this. if your pooklet has an allergy to cats, for example, and he has a reaction to rice cereal for whatever reason, these two build up a load of irritants that may only then require a minor reaction to, say, sweet potatoes, to "overflow" into symptoms like vomiting. anybody buying this? sounds pretty compelling at this point, but then we don't get much in the way of certainty from medical opinion at this stage of pooklet's life.
