yay! Mr Allergy Doc just called and said they fit Timothy in frist thing *830am* tommorrow to re-do his food allergies test. I am realy hoping he has out grown his egg allergy! Then that would open up so muich more of the Halloween candy and gluten-free junk food, plus we could start baking again (I have not at all been happy with any of the dozens of egg substutes we tired).

Eggfree has been much harder on us then gluten-free as odd as that is. One would think that the more resrtitive gluten-free diet would be the killer.. but realy, save for pasta we never were a big wheat eating group... and with Tinkyada pasta's we not missing much! (cept cocoa puffs :(:angry: )

I hope he's outgrown it! I completely agree with you - eggs are way harder to live without than gluten. All of the good gluten-free stuff either has eggs or the recipes call for eggs. I hope you get good news!

WEll he still reacts to the scratch tests for egg yolk/white... how ever they took blood. Mr Allergy Doc said that a child that out grows an allergy will often still react on a skin test, but the blood test will indicat they did infact out grow it. So we have to wait till like thursday or so to get that back.

This may not be much comfort....but at least it's only a week.

We have to wait 4. Would have only been 3 but the doctor is only over here every other week.

We'll be waiting for the results. :)

Oh shoot! Well, maybe the blood test will tell differently. :)

My son also has an egg allergy; he's specifically allergic to egg whites. He showed up positive in the scratch test and labs. He had a severe reaction at 1 y/o to a healthy frozen omlet...came to fine out it was a cheese and egg white omlet! That being said, he can have eggs as long as it's not a primary ingredient (ie, french toast, quiche, egg salad) or it's cooked in something (ie., bread, pasta, cookies). He hasn't had a reaction to egg in 2 1/5 years. He also hasn't had a reaction to the egg based vaccine, although the ped administered it in two small doses, 30 minutes apart while I waited at the office in the event he did have a reaction.

How did you decide to test? My 13 y.o. never had an egg allergy, and during his celiac crisis started reacting to eggs (projectile vomiting) of any kind or amount. The RAST test was 1 and we've avoided eggs ever since.(almost 3 years now) When I ask his peds or the peds GI about retesting, they say there's no value in the blood test (you can be "positive" with no reaction) so we need to just feed him some egg and "see what happens".

He's also got an impaired immune system, so the danger of flu is real for him without the vaccine. Peds won't give him one without "proof" or "permission" from the peds GI (200 miles away) to do so. Should I just try to find an allergist instead? Just feeding him egg makes me nervous -- what if his reaction is WORSE? But I agree, eggs would make our life sooooooo much easier :)

hoping the best results for you and that kiddo ~

Well we ahve a great and wonderful pedi-doc that recomend we get him tested. And Mr Allegery Doc gave us a form and told us to check off everything that Timothy eats and they would test that.

Basicly Tim had gotten ALOT better when he went gluten-free... but he was still not 100% so we wanted to check to see if there was addtional issues, and in his case only egg reacted to the test.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

      Celiac pain relief

      By Karmmacalling · Posted

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.

      My son newly diagnosed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.
