Allergy Testing For A Three Year Old?

My daughter is three and half years old. She's definitely sensitive to gluten... I've been cutting as much as possible out of her diet. She's eats a really great variety of foods, but she did have a lot of eczema as a baby.

Anyway... last night was the first time my daughter had pumpkin seeds (as far as I know). We noticed that she had a rash around her mouth and her ears had turned bright red. She had a bunch of other things to eat... yogurt, rice cereal, a waffle, peanut butter... but these foods have never bothered her before.

I'm going to call the pediatrician today, but I was wondering... how accurate is IgE allergy testing in children? Thank goodness pumpkin seeds are not everywhere like sesame seeds or peanuts!

My 22 month old son is having allergy testing done tomorrow. His paediatrician got him in to see a paediatric allergist, so I'm hoping and assuming that allergy testing is accurate!

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
