1yo due an allergy test

[eleanaseggiexx]

Hi. My baby is having an allergy test in jan, he will be 1yo. They have asked for us to bag up anything we think he may be allergic to.
Current moment we know he is allergic to eggs, milk, bananas and wheat. How would I bag all of these up, obviously they want it bagged individually so there is no chance of cross contamination.
But it seems a bit ridiculous to bag up an egg, some milk, weetabix, and a bit of banana.
Has anyone had an allergy test for their little one and had to bag up foods etc, and if so, how did you go about it. Thankyou!

Hello, yes we have had allergy tests for our little one where we had to bring stuff.

egg- bring a whole raw egg in its shell in a Tupperware
wheat- bit of wheat flour mixed with a small amount of water in a little Tupperware
milk- bit of milk in a clean flask or bottle
banana- I’d just take a whole banana for them to use (but haven’t experienced this one ourself).

Good luck!

They have banana already for testing, it's more the odd ones they need. They'll also have dairy to test too.

I took whole foods in and didn't separate them because I knew she would react anyway.

Thankyou! They're doing a pin prick test but I don't understand how it works, like are they going to prick the food then my baby or? I just don't really understand how they're going to do it

Thankyou!!

Yes they pricked the food/samples and then in my daughters arm.

She was tested 2 weeks ago and was tested with food i had brought but quite a few of them they already had like dairy, banana, etc.

My one year has a bad eczema on her face, we've always suspected milk allergy but doctors palm us off saying she'll grow out of it and prescribed steroid based cream that made her skin worse. I live in Wales and been told NHS don't refer for allergy testing, has anyone been referred for one?
