Egg Allergy it is!

elisbuelisbu member
in Parenting after a Loss

Pedi called today, K has a severe egg allergy. We will retest her in a year, but for now it's no egg, no egg products, nothing made with eggs, nothing cooked in the same pan as an egg!
Looks like reading lables will be a new hobby for me.

It's not the worst thing I can imagine, but her birthday cake won't be as yummy!

    Glad you know what it is at least. All allergies are a huge PITA, fingers crossed she outgrows it.

    It is not the end of the world. I'm sorry this is the result though. Lable reading gets easier as you go.

    Welcome to the food allergy club. Hope she outgrows it! No flu shot for her either.

    DS also has severe egg allergy; we found out about 4 months ago. FWIW, it hasn't been as hard to eliminate egg from his diet as I might have thought. And, as an aside, he did receive a flu shot - and tolerated it just fine. Per his allergist, the egg antigen component in influenza vaccine is so minuscule as to represent little or no risk to kids with egg allergies.

    We have an egg allergy as well.  It's a pain in the neck, but never fear, it is possible to make very yummy cakes without egg.  You can use a regular recipe, and buy powdered egg replacer (Ener-G brand, found in health food stores).  Or, try this one.  I've been making it for all our birthdays and I am asked for the recipe every single time.  I use sour cream instead of apple sauce, which makes it a little more fall-apart-y, but if you let it cool completely before messing with it, that helps.  It's my go-to chocolate cake recipe.

    I hope she outgrows it. DD had a soy and dairy allergy that she outgrew but it wasn't severe.

    Thanks for the recipes!!!
    I am glad to hear people say it's not as bad as they thought, and that their LO's outgrew it. I hope K does too!
    I know families have much bigger issues to deal with than birthday cake and breakfast, so I am trying to count my blessings and am thankful we found out now!
