The results look very promising.

My dd has asthma, eczema and egg allergy.

I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to enter her in the study if the chance had come up.

There is so much fear regarding peanut allergy and a lot of misinformation out there.

I think the children who participated and their parents are very brave and have contributed so much to understanding the minefield that is life with a food allergy.

So a big thanks from me and dd.

Aww bless you we took part. My big 6 yr old was about 9 mths when we started he had egg allergy and has also out grown this! We mainly joined up for the allergy advice and hopefully to help out other babies and children. My son was put in the peanut eating grp thankfully he has not dvpd peanut allergy! We just need more studies to get to grips with allergies. My second boy is egg and milk allergic so wanted him to eat peanut asap but looks like he has developed allergy :-( I am on fbook cmpa (cows milk protein allergy) support group and there was quite alot of bashing the study yesterday mainly because if how the study was reported by the media in terms of people telling u eating abit wont harm ur child I was quite upset about it as I was quite passionate about the study and your post has made me realise that it was worth it! Thank you hope ur dd grows out of her egg allergy
