Need suggestions for cooked egg challenge (in dr's office)!

CareBear2005

I'm sorry I haven't posted here in forever, but my son is 21 months old and allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts. We go next Friday to the allergist to do an in-office food challenge to see if he tolerates cooked egg (not straight, but in something).

They told me to bring something for him to eat w/ cooked egg, but it can't have milk because we aren't testing for that yet...but I'm at a loss. Problem is he's super picky as it is and not into trying new things. I'm thinking I may have to bring a couple different options.

Any ideas??

ps. I'm cool with something unhealthy like brownies, etc. for this purpose, but maybe I should avoid chocolate because he's never really had it...

Yeah I haven't been on here in so long - I'm not 48 weeks pregnant, LOL! My DD is now almost 10 weeks!

Can you make simple muffin with just one egg?  I use this recipe for my muffins, i think you can just throw an egg in to the batter. (not sure if that will mess up the recipe though).

Muffins are usually a hit with kids, even when they are picky.   Can you make him a recipe of muffins without eggs to see if he eats the muffin first and then give him a muffin a day so you know he is eating it?

good luck! i can't wait until we are in the same boat as you!!!!!!

can you add egg to one of his regular foods?  like if he eats chicken nuggets- use eggs in the breading.  Or bake some kind of bread/pancake/waffle etc. that he usually eats but just put the eggs back in.

I haven't read the previous responses, so please forgive me if they've been mentioned. Does he eat pancakes? That's what we do for most of DS' allergy challenges. I just add whatever we're testing for and I know he's sure to eat it. Muffins and cookies are easy and transportable. Good luck with your challenge!

For my DD's egg allergy, my allergists office suggests french toast made with 1 whole egg served with lots of maple syrup
