We received a letter from the hospital this week saying almost the opposite from what they had told us at the clinic in June. They said at the clinic they would do food challenges in September (for egg and milk), would take another blood test, then would get in touch with a date, and said there could be no reason not to do a challenge. Also reminded us to keep DS away from nuts till he is 7. (DS is 3 - 4 next month).
Anyway the letter says his blood antibodies are still too high to do a food challenge but that he has no antibodie to peanuts so it is safe for us to give them to him.
Just feel low about it - still no nearer to knowing about DS allergies and what could happen if he were to accidentally eat egg/milk. Feels that each time we go to the clinic we see someone else who tells us something different.
Does anyone else experience this?
