Since it's been a year or so since our initial visit after A had the reaction to hummus, we went back to see how his allergies are progressing. They skin tested him for egg, soy, sesame and peanut. And it looks like he outgrew his egg, soy and peanut allergy! The sesame one reacted BIG TIME and made a 3 inch hive across his back, so sesame is still a big no no and we still have an epi pen for that.
But starting next week we are going to food test both the soy and peanut allergy. We go in next week for peanuts, which they will feed him there. Then 2 weeks after that is soy. If he does not react, my tiny guy can finally have peanut butter and protein shakes!!! The egg one was so minor even before, the doctor gave us the go ahead to give him eggs on our own
Re: Good news from the allergist!
That is awesome!
I really hope O outgrows his allergies too. I think we go back in for retesting during the summer so we'll see.
Yay!! The peanut one is particularly yay for me because I'm so hoping N outgrows his too. We don't do a test to see if it's outgrown until age 3 though. I'm so happy for you and A! Now he'll be able to eat such a bigger variety of foods!
Yay for A! That's great news, especially about the peanuts.
This also reminds me that there's a chance my DS has outgrown his egg allergy and that I should talk to the pedi about it. Thanks for the reminder!
Sesame and peanut often go hand in hand. His blood test didn't test for just sesame, it just did peanut. He had a stronger reaction to the sesame than the peanut on the one skin test we did. But this time, the sesame was really reactive and the peanut wasn't at all. I don't know how rare that it, but my guess is that sesame can be a stand alone allergen as well, since that what it seems is happening to him.
