The allergy testing showed no allergies to soy, egg, dairy, wheat, gluten...!!!! I know he had blood work up in China, and we received the results of his allergy testing. But, for some reason, he is showing no signs of allergies! Crazy sweet news!!!!
Thus, the allergist said we can slowly reintroduce the foods (minus dairy) until we see the GI doctor. She said he still needs to be checked for Celiac disease, but that he must have an intestinal infection--not related to food. His GI appointment isn't for a couple of weeks, and the diarrhea is persistent.
For now, we are flying high on the news that he is not allergic to the foods we were told he was allergic to. (At the same time, we were warned he could be "intolerant" instead of "allergic". One day at a time.) For now, he is fever-free and can eat standard foods again!
Thus, tomorrow we will finish off the stool samples and blood work at Quest.
With homeschooling and other sicknesses in the family, we are struggling during this transition time.
But, I'm going to focus on the awesome news and call it a "night" with a smile on my face! J
Good night, everyone!

Food allergies are always so tricky! With littles I'm told they can show negative when they're young when they actually are allergic, my boss is going through that with one of his babes...and going off gluten can make a standard gluten test show as you're not allergic since you haven't been eating it. So hard! I'm glad it sounds like he's not allergic though. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't eat eggs! They're in everything! lol Not eating gluten isn't a big deal though we've been gluten free at our house for a few years now. Celiac testing is REALLY tricky because you have to be in the final stages of the disease for it to show up on the test usually. The only test I know that is accurate for gluten testing is from Cyrex labs. Praying you get some answers soon though!
Thanks for writing, Brienne! You're so kind to care!
