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.

Have you had him re tested? Mr Allergy Doc said that 80% of childern will out grow an egg allergy by age 5.

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.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
