Took Gavin to the allergist this morning and here are MORE foods he's allergic to: pork, green beans, barley, milk, wheat, garlic, lemon, rye, sunflower, soy, just to name a few. There are even more, but they weren't as severe as some of the others. YIKES!!!! We have a few options that we are going to dicuss this weekend and make the best decision for Gavin. 1) More food elimination. which we can't really do until we have talked to the nutritionist. 2)Elemental diet (formula based diet only = no solid foods for several months). 3)Have him go on Pulmicort, which is a swallowed steroid (no long-term effects studies have been done on this).
On a side note, Michael has been having some issues and has been referred to Gavin's allergist. Michael went with us to Gavin's appointment this AM and the allergist suspects that Michael also has EE. He is going to call his Dr. and get a GI referral to get a diagnosis before doing any allergy testing.

Oh I hate that for him - it might be easier to just start listing what he can eat (just kidding).
