Re: the dairy and allergy testing - very glad you are going to see the allergist. A good friend has a family history of allergies, and for any of the foods that her children reacted to with any sort of throat swelling/pain or hives, the docs always recommended that she 'try' the food again only in the office with an allergist, for safety reasons.

Have you mentioned her new reaction to the doctors that previously suggested that you try her on dairy ever 6 months? The new reaction would likely involve a change of advice, honestly.

soon and she swollowed it she started crying saying it hurts and pointed to her throat. Minutes later she wasn't talking and couldn't even swallow her saliva so she would run to the sink every 10 min to spit it out. Her doc had told us to try dairy every 6 months with her to see if she could tolerate it.

Was it your ped who said to try dairy every 6 months? Cause what you are describing sounds like it's headed to an anaphylactic reaction and I would get to an allergist and get some dpi pens. And NOT try it every 6 months. That sounds down right dangerous to me.

T.H- I did call her doctors office to inform them of her reaction and they said they would note it. I called today because my daughter seemed to have a stomach irritation after eating a banana, the lady answering the phones and the doctor don't seem to be on the same page because she said the doctor ran allergy tests but that he suggests I should see an allergist. When I spoke to her doctor when he read lab results back he said he ran IGA testing not IGE which from what I read they have to run IGE for allergies. Now I am beyond frustrated we just want to know what all is hurting our little girl.

Stephanie- It was our daughters pedi that advised us to try dairy every 6 months due to him thinking it was a dairy intolerance not an allergy.

He has always been such a great doc as of late i'm starting to wonder but at the moment I just can't seem to trust anyone.

As an allergy Mom as well as Celiac, I strongly suggest getting to an allergist. You need IgE testing with that reaction which is sounds like wasn't done? (I can't see your post to double check that but I think that's what I read). IgE testing is for allergies that are more likely to be anaphylactic. The other Ig's are more intolerances and the like.

FWIW, we've been through 5 allergists. It was a heck of a time finding one who knew what was up. Our last ped was an allergist as well and he had less of a clue than the others! I would suggest checking over on the kids with food allergies forum if you want recommendations for a good allergy Doc (if you choose to go that way).

Stephanie- No unfortunately IGE testing wasn't done just IGA. We have an appt with an allergist on Wed. I hope it goes well I'm teally starting to bw fearful of what to feed my daughter. I gavr her a banana Thursday, not only did it cause stomach irritation she broke out in a yeast infection from it. I thought to help with the inflammation let's give her a childrens motrin. Within 5 min. She broke out in a rash on her inner thighs and said it stung and itched bad.

Sorry to hear you have had such trouble finding a good doctor :/

I wonder if it's corn causing some of the issue. That could explain the Mortin. Also, we can't do bananas so I feel ya there. DS has a condition called FPIES that can/does (for him) cause him to go into shock from them.

I really hope you can get things figured out. It is tough to get through but know once you "get it" it'll be like night and day for her!

Oh goodness that must be so scary.

Thank you Stephanie for the advice/support this is soo hard and heartbteaking.

We want to do an elimination diet but with her only being 3 and a picky eater as is I just don't know how to go about it. Once she gets sick of eating the same bland foods she then just stops eating all together. I really can't wait to be in the

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?

      @plumbago on my blood tests I got 4500 and normal should be between 25-30 but they wanted me to continue eating gluten until a endoscopy was done and also biopsies taken. I’ve took it upon myself to cut gluten out today based on the research I’ve done about it during pregnancy

      If you tested positive for celiac on labwork, I would definitely give up gluten.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      I have Celiac and had a bad reaction to the regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles.  The baked ones in this flavor are apparently marked gluten-free, but watch out for the regular ones.  I wish I would have seen a post like mine, instead of one that was specifically referring to the baked chips from my google search, before I pulled the trigger.  Hopefully some day they'll require gluten disclosure on the ingredients, not just "wheat."
