Egg-static!
Hurray, hurray! My brave little girl passed her egg challenge with flying colors.
And boy does she love eggs. When the allergist left the room after her initial dose (1/8 tsp) — she tried to eat the whole plate. My kind of kid.
As to garlic — we’re going to take a pragmatic approach. We’re not going to give her food with garlic in it, but we’re not going to worry about trace amounts either. In this way, she’ll be able to continue eating the foods she has safely enjoyed for years. We’ll see how it goes.
If any of you have garlic allergies (or garlic allergic children) and can offer any tips — I’d love to hear them.

Hooray for you!! That is great news. Being able to bake with eggs again must be great! I think I could handle the wheat allergy if I could get eggs back. Hopefully some day!

I just found out my 2 1/2 year old son is highly allergic to garlic. We never suspected it and always assume it was a dairy intolerance that caused his instinal issues. Now i am overwhelmed with the amount of food that has garlic in it, he eats it all! I really need help sorting it out does anyone have a website that would be a good resource?
