We've kind of shifted gears in our thinking re: baked egg at this point, Grey-- we used to think about all that COULD change with "tolerance" (however one defines that), and think about how to push dosing up into that range so that we could "get there" someday...
but then we realized over a period of a few years that the changes that we
already have are really amazing.
We don't worry about cross-contamination any more.
No-- let me repeat that.
We. don't. worry. about. cross. contamination. any. more.We buy whatever pasta we like. We allow restaurant meals that would have been UNTHINKABLE before. We don't worry about contact with... salad dressings, potato salad, chickens, chicken FEED, animal food, hair products, art supplies, baked breads, pizza crusts...
It's amazing how much this has changed for us when we stopped and thought about it. My dd can actually go OUT to a restaurant with her friends. She can get a flu shot each year. She is going to be able to have a chicken of her own. While I know that seems like a peculiar way to "live the dream" and y'all can mock us all you like, this is like having a fairy godmother wave a wand over DD and tell her that she CAN go to the ball after all. SHE feels like she won the darned lottery for being able to have a CHICKEN.
Quality of life is a highly idiosyncratic measurement, basically.
So yeah, if she isn't
ever able to tolerate eggs in her diet-- SO WHAT. I would never want to risk what we've gained.
