Oh my! What an allergy visit that was! I asked the allergist to test Caden for mustard, since we suspected he was allergic, after a reaction to Bush's Baked Beans this past summer. It's the only thing he ever has eaten with mustard. Well, that came back positive.... with a host of other new allergies!
His dairy reaction was so big it ran into his egg allergy. I think it was about 3 inches long and an inch wide. The allergist said he couldn't believe how bad it was. He wants to do some blood tests for allergies to check his levels this summer. He tested positive for molds, dust, pets, and pollens on the environmental and seasonal tests. He tested positive for the first time to fish, shellfish and tree nuts, despite having NONE of those things in the last year (fish) or ever (shellfish and tree nuts).
He also tested positive to wheat and corn and beans, but he eats those things safely (well not beans, which he won't eat at all). Fortunately that means we will not have to eliminate those things from his diet. He also finally tested positive to soy on the skin test, despite reacting to it for over a year.
He did however outgrow his tomato allergy! We haven't trialed yet, but we will sometime this week. We offered him ketchup earlier this week, and he had no interest whatsoever. This kid will dip his french fries in apple sauce but not ketchup!
We go back for our six month follow up in May, and we'll likely do the blood work then too. I was really hoping he'd outgrow his egg allergy, but the allergist thinks that one got worse too.

(((hug))) I know how scary this all can be. I am glad he has outgrown the tomatoes. It will add alot of flavor back in your diets.
