Follow up to J's allergy test

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Well it did take 2 hours, maybe a little longer, but it didn't seem that bad. Poor Jayden hated the little pricks, it was like we were ripping her fingernails off or something.

She tested as the highest number for peanut allergy, and the PA said she very rarely sees a child this young, this allergic. We are lucky she was ok after her first exposure.

She is also allergic to cats, and avocado, and is mildly allergic to eggs. But we can still give her food that contains eggs. What's weird though is Jayden hates eggs. I kept trying to make them for her for breakfast and she would cry at her food and would never eat it.

    Wow, good thing you found out about the peanut allergy!  And the egg thing is weird, I guess she was trying to tell you something.

    So what do you do about the peanuts now?  Can she not be near them at all?  Or just not ingest them?

    She just can't ingest them. And probably can't rub peanut better all over herself either Wink  I just have to do my research and avoid things containing peanuts. The good news is it's avoidable!

    Good thing you know now before anything else happens.  When I worked in a summer camp I remember we had to read all the packaging, even for things such as bread because while something may not be made with peanut butter, they are made in facilities that make other things with it and they will list it on the packaging.  I was surprised by how many different items I would normally just pick up have this warning on it.

    I am so sorry ginger! Poor little J! I have heard before that kids often do not like things they are alergic to. At least she won't feel like she's missing out on the eggs!

    Sorry to hear about the peanut allergy. We are adjusting as well.  Just so you know, there's a spread called Soy Butter (I found it at Walmart--next to the pb) and it's specifically made in a peanut free facility.  My DD tested positive for peanuts, but negative for all other nuts, but the Dr. told us to still avoid them because they might be processed together.  So I couldn't get her almond butter or something like that.  Anyways, DD really likes the soy butter, and while it's definitely not peanut butter, it's not bad and makes a good snack/meal for her.

     Did you do a blood test too?  Our DD tested at a 4+ for a skin reaction too, and the doctor said he thought her bloodwork would come back severely allergic, but when we got it back she was actually classified as a 1 (out of 6).  When you do the blood test they will also give you a percentage.  DD tested at 30%, which means that she has a 30% chance of a severe reaction, so it's actually much better than the doctor thought from the skin test (he had estimated 80%-90%).  We have to of course still be vigilant,  but this gives me a little more hope.

    Oh wow, she didn't do the blood test. She said the skin reaction was so strong. I will make a follow up and ask for one. Thanks!

    Hopefully it will be better than you thought!
