sickness, stuffiness, and growing

I don't know why Chalice goes through these vicious cycles of sickness, stuffiness (which I think might be allergies), and then a growth spurt. During these times, it is extremely difficult to deal with Chalice. She is emotional, aggressive, and goes between extreme energy and fatigue. It is also difficult to feed her. Tough love has come in handy with these situations but it makes me question if we are using it for the right reasons. I have often thought that if Chalice ever goes off the ketogenic diet that she is going to have a lot of emotional issues and problems eating in general. Food and emotions are tied together. If you try an elimination diet (eliminating any products containing wheat/gluten, corn, yeast, meat, dairy, or citrius) for a week you will see what I mean.

So, I have been thinking that we should probably take Chalice in to get tested for allergies. I have been hesitant because if she is allergic to any foods it would make the ketogenic diet more difficult. I will have to think more on this.
