kerrymum......all mine, and me, were only tested on milk and ceoliacs first, they then went on to the other screening only AFTER we cut milk etc out and still there were reactions!
on the NHS, well, near me anyway, they will not do broad screening until the teeny screening comes back.......all to do with money etc I guess.
of course, go private, and they will do lots and lots first go, as you are paying them IYGWIM, so will do as asked pretty much.....tis the differences I guess between ireland and britain!!!
my DS2 is still being tested for ceoliacs, even tho we have already have several negs, as ceoliacs is the most unreliable test for achieving a positive even tho it is obvious!!!
you need to ask about nuts tho, if he has a high Ige count, plus, with a rash like that, airborne irritants.....I was quite stunned to find how much I reacted to airborne allergens on my recent allergy tests........tree and grass pollens, cats, dogs and rabbits, plus house dust mite!!!
in fact, house dust mite made a HUGE welt on my arm, so I am very very allergic to that, but it still doesn;t explain my spots......according to someone I know, my spots are very much like ceoliacs spots when they have an overload of gluten....
ehy ho....
good luck, tis bloody hard on tinys with food problems......at least I am easy to sort me out.....I have logic ((well, except when I have PMT))
