Hoping that once again you can help me get my head around something. I am used to managing IgE food allergies but my daughter who is now 13 months also has a suspected non-IgE mediated allergy to milk which we thought she was outgrowing.
I understand how the reaction in IgE allergies work, but I'm confused by how non IgE ones work. In particular, is it possible for someone to have a threshold in terms of the amount of the food they can cope with then react if they have any more than that but be fine with smaller amounts? If so, can anyone explain why that is?
