Title: Allergy appt update
Post by: mom2AnH on October 11, 2011, 12:49:36 PM
Yikes!!!  :o

Allergist drew bood to run a RAST test on H for sesame .... he damn near passed out.  :hiding: As soon as he realized what was going on, he started breathing heavy and panicking. No more blood draws or shots for this boy for a while - phew!

Anyways - he's still super tiny - 52lbs and 50.2in .... *sighs* Lost a pound in a month, but I expected that since he's wrestling and playing soccer.  ~) (he's now below the 10th percentile for both .....)

Will have results in a couple of weeks! Said for us to basically consider him allergic to sesame ..... based on the fact that he gets stomach aches shortly after eating anything with sesame seeds, and we're thinking the general tso's chicken that caused him to have a major reaction a couple of years ago might have been cross-contaminated. We'll see. SPT still shows negative for sesame though :(
