DD is allergic to milk, egg and nuts. She had her annual check up today and skin prick tests were redone (she is 3 yet as, 2 months)
Consultant feels that her milk and egg allergies may be a little better but wheels were still pretty big
She recommended that we start a baked egg challenge at home - we have been told to bake our own cupcakes using one egg in the mix per batch and start dd with a small peice one day and gradually build it up if there is no reaction. Then move to 2 eggs per batch and keep this up until our next appointment in 12 months.
Is this a common way to do a food challenge? Dd has never had eggs before - she was tested for an egg allergy aswell as many more during our first trip to the allergy clinic over 2.5 years ago.
Dh is keen to get going with this at the weekend. I am terrified. Consultant said that an anaphylactic would be unlikely, but I am still nervous.
Can anyone share their experiences with me please?
