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.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
