Tree Nut Component Testing
gvmom:
Any news? (Realizing that although you said you'd call on Monday, it is Halloween afterall......)
PurpleCat:
I did call, but the receptionist has to put the request in and she said they will be mailed..... ~) So much for going paperless!
gvmom:
:yes: .... and you know that something like that is actually sitting in some lab's computer too.... they'll actually have to expend more effort printing & mailing.
PurpleCat:
Just got off the phone with a nurse at the allergist's office. She is confused why the results aren't there and she can not access them either! Not to mention, the doctor wrote a letter yesterday..............as if the first one did not exist......and it is different.....and I got a "whoops" as an excuse!
Now I really want to see the results!
The new letter says she is allergic to the high risk components of hazelnut. She is not allergic to the his risk components of walnut, cashew or brazil nut. She goes on to say we can open challenge cashew or walnut!
Now, it is good news...but the discrepancy/error really raises a flag for me.
I have scheduled a challenge for January...but now I don't know which nut we will address first. Have to see what DD thinks.

Purple Cat,
can you post he name of the lab doing these? (Please don't if too personally identifying) . . . having trouble getting real answer from doc as to availability of NUT component testing for our kids . . . really want this done so we can narrow down allergies for both kids.
Thanks!
