So on Wednesday we had an appointment at Childrens Hospital in Birmingham @ the UAB clinic and saw a pediatric Immunologist/allergist. We got results that we weren't thrilled with but the results that we somewhat expected. There was a little difference in what we were told there vs. what we had anticipated but we now find ourselves with a game plan and lots of steps in the right direction for all of this and for all of us.
The results were: egg - DEFINITE 'true' allery; milk - DEFINITE 'true' allergy; peanuts - UNCERTAIN 'true' allergy; with everything else being considered 'irritants' such as corn, soy, rice, etc.
We have been given daily allergy medicine that is dye free and 'corn' free as well as have been told how and when to reintroduce things. eggs, milk, and peanuts will not be attempted for 2 years and BEFORE they are attempted, they will test in the office and if the tests come back negative, they will introduce IN OFFICE, not at home! (whew!!!) Corn, soy, etc. that are considered 'irritants' are to be attempted every 6 months and trying those at home are ok because of the non-histamine type reaction we get from those is not a life-threatening thing. We were all exhausted from the trip and are just glad to have some answers as well as a game plan. i hope that i explained it all well enough and will post pictures soon! i've got some really cute ones coming up!!!
