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. :)

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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
