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.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
