Tess in the Burbs Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My ds has had so many different food allergies since a baby I honestly had no expectations with his food challenge yesterday. If I had thought about the steps to get to the challenge I probably would have had more hope. But the main point is....HE PASSED! He can eat sunflower again. Yay! Since it's cheap and every food manufacturer seems to use it now, it opens up a world of options. Like buying bread at the store. I don't have to freak out about bread. Or chips. It's so hard to go to a cookout and see 20 kids of chips but he couldn't eat any! We have a hazel nut challenge in Jan. And will do blood test for all his nut/tree/coconut/sesame stuff. If any are low enough then another skin test. The Dr actually used the word HOPE yesterday in referencing his peanut allergy. Said his numbers are getting lower. HOPE :-D Best word of the day.

lexi Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yay! That's wonderful! We have a sunflower allergy here too. I hope we grow out of that one (as well as others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 We have nut allergies here, so we understand. I am so thrilled for you!!! What a great feeling that must be. What a relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I remember what a great day it was when my son outgrew his dairy allergy! It made the tree nut allergy seem more bearable. Thankfully, he can eat peanuts, just not tree nuts, which are somewhat easier to deal with. Anyhow, celebrating with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I know that feeling. We haven't tested/challenged DD on peanut, but it was a lot easier once she outgrew her egg allergy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hooray! Wonderful news! DS7 outgrew his egg allergy, and it made life so much easier. Now it's "just" peanuts and walnuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 :party: Yay!!!!!! Sunbutter, here you come! No bake sunbutter balls are awesome!
