We had an insane run there for DS1 at one point - wheat, rye, barley, rice, corn, oats, eggs, soy, dairy, peanuts and tree nuts.
Somehow I doubt he outgrew anything - his previous psychotic allergist said he was so small because it was obvious he was eating things he was allergic too.
Okay, tell me how eliminating corn is going to help that. Because I went about it the way any rational person goes about eliminating allergens - I researched and found a long list of things corn could be and was thankful to find a list of foods that were safe about four pages long, but with the other allergens, that list was narrowed to about a half a page long.
I remember crying on the deck after I had fed DS1 a carefully prepared chili for breakfast. Yeah - we had to get creative since many breakfast foods were gone. He had a bowel movement that was so loose and explosive his shoes had to be tossed. The poor kid looked like hell and he was mortified. That morning he cried because I wouldn't make him corn on the cob for breakfast.
We had a follow up appointment with the psycho that week. She told me I was going overboard. WHAT? I didn't need to worry about may contains and shared lines because I had an epi pen, corn really wasn't that big an issue (just avoid blatant corn) and he could drink Gator Ade (which at the time had hfcs in many varieties, all others had corn derived ingredients) and wasn't she surprised to find out that Cracker Jacks had corn in it. Startling since she also had a corn allergy. No folks, this was not an alternative med dr - she was a board certified pediatric allergist
So I stepped back a few appointments to when we knew he was allergic to wheat, rye, barley, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts. Eventually found a new allergist who challenged the peanuts and tree nuts. So yes, wheat, rye, barley and eggs is a relief (even with the oat and dried bean intolerance).
Got the official class reports
DS1 -
Egg yolk - Class 2
Egg white - Class 3
Barley - Class 5
Rye - Class 6
Wheat - Class 6
Thanks to stupid insurance company and being forced to go through Lab Corp vs. Quest, I cannot see if there is an actual drop in numbers. Class wise, we remain the same :/
DS2
Peanut - Class 4
Yeah, that is a huge jump from class 2 but allergist seems confident he will outgrow. I am not as optimistic.
I go back and forth on DS2 in regards to the allergen. He once had hives from reaching into a box of peanuts (we knew he was possibly PA at that point - he just had no idea that they were peanuts). He has never consumed them to the best of our knowledge. Ugh. I just want to know!!!
