Gavin's Allergy Testing

We had Gavin tested for food allergies before we went out of town. Of the 40 foods he was tested for, he was allergic to 11: corn, rice, shrimp, eggs, green peas, cantaloupe, pineapple, peanuts, pork, garlic and oranges.

Hopefully he will grow out of these as a few of these items, especially peanut butter, are staples in our home.

Poor boy! At leas now you know what to avoid. Hopefully this will help with the vomitting.

Is it JUST peanuts? You could convert to cashew or almond butter...both yummy and sort of peanut-buttery...without all of that vomiting. :) (We sometimes buy almond butter as a treat. It's so good!!)

Hi Lauren,

So sorry to hear about Gavin's food allergies. :( I certainly can relate. Did they also test Gavin for environmental allergies as well? The good news is there are great treatment options for environmental allergies such immunotherapy to desensitize the immune system to the allergens.
