Hi all,
My DS is nearly 7 months and had a rash, cried and was scratching his neck until he grazed it after eating egg. He's had a similar reaction to other food but not as bad as the egg. He's had the skin prick test and it showed a strong allergic reaction to egg white; "potentially life-threatening" in the paed's words. He had a blood test (and a lesser reaction to cows milk) we get the results next Weds.
I just wondered where to start basically! Can anyone give me useful tips, good websites, good books, practical advice re how to deal with this? We also have a 3yo; is it best to keep eggs out of everyone's diet in case my DD leaves food lying around for DS to pinch?
Any advice would be welcome, thanks!
