Hello All,
Great News my DD somewhat passed her egg challenge, she ate it no problem in baked goods, she could eat both the white and yellow of a hard boiled egg!! However, she started to react when she was given raw egg. The Doctor told us she can eat eggs in baked goods and that is all. He told us she cannot eat cooked eggs, or eggs in pasta, pancakes, mayonnaise etc.. I do not want to take chances at all, but she was so excited about trying fresh pasta, including raviolis. All ravioli's have a may contain or contains eggs alert on them. A hard boiled egg is cooked at 100 Celcius, and she had no reaction to it, so I do not see why she could not have pasta with eggs in it, since pasta is cooked at the same temperature.
When I asked for further clarification, he indicated that she can eat items that have eggs in them if they are cooked in the oven, but not raw eggs or items cooked on the stove. So I asked if I cooked the item first on the stove and then baked it would it be okay, he just mumbled something. I should share, that we moved to a new area, and this new Doctor is a Pediatrician who has alot of patients with allergies, however he is not an Allergist, like her previous Doctor. So I am not too sure if he is up on all the latest.
Does anyone else have children in this situation, passed the boiled egg test, but failed the raw egg? If so, what does your child eat in regards to eggs? What was the advice of their Allergist?
Thanks,
