Hi all, DS has been referred to Dr Lack at St Thomas's regarding his peanut allergy. He is under 1 and was IeG tested positive (class II) for peanut allergy (he has some other allergies too). So far, he has only had eczema and we have no evidence (yet) that it might be anaphylactic allergy. The docs we have seen up to know basically say that he should never have another peanut ever - and never be retested so we'll never know whether he has grown out of his allergy etc. I am loathed to confine DS to a life of checking allergy information unless he really does have an allergy... It may sound cavalier but I feel that retesting in future is important (preferably in medical circumstances...). The current docs don't want to even discuss any kind of 'growing out' of the allergy, or retesting and have referred me to Dr Lack as he is apparently more of a specialist in peanut allergy. I'm pleased to have been referred to a specialist, but am just wondering whether anyone has any experience of him and whether he has any expertise on likelihood of growing out of peanut allergy and/or retesting over a period of time (or anything else relevant).
thanks.
