So I asked our allergist to run a treenut panel on both boys, along with their regular allergy bloodwork, as M has been wanting to try almonds. Both boys were off the chart for all tree nuts, which was disheartening, but not surprising. Well, maybe a little surprising since they're class V to several!
But anyway, while ordering, doc accidentally ran egg on M. M used to eat egg regularly until we became an egg free house when C anaphylaxed in 2009. Now M very rarely eats egg. Every now and then DH or I will take him to McDs for breakfast. Occaissionally, if he's going to a birthday party without C, I'll get him peanut free cupcakes with egg to take. Never a problem.
Bloodwork shows class II to egg for M. When I told the nurse he eats it, she said to keep giving it him then. I talked to M when I got off the phone with her and he said sometimes when he eats eggs he gets a bellyache ( I can't remember how I broached it. I may have influenced him). I asked why he never told me. He said he assumed it was just McDs food that made his belly hurt.
So now what? Would you try non baked egg again with this info? I'm thinking maybe he's less tolerant of less heated egg now?
One thing I know- it's now time for a teaching hospital in a big city. Too many questions as they're getting older!
