Baby food problems- suggestions?

today is a day I feel totally defeated with my baby. she is 8 months old. the problem is foods! She cannot have any fruits at all. she gets red splotches around her temples which will go away about 15 minutes after she eats it. doctor said it was a fruit sensitivity and she would outgrow it (this was at 6 months old). she said to retry fruits ever so often and see if it disappears. well we have tried fruits again and the same thing happens but now her eyes will look really bruised. So she is limited to veggie baby food. we I have started trying to introduce more solids and finger foods for her now that she has all 4 teeth. And she just gets choked on it. And this is tiny and very mushy!! And now I'm scared to feed her stuff like that. I know I will probably need to wait until she is ready but I feel like I need to start somewhere. I just feel defeated and overwhelmed with this. any suggestiongs?
