Well, Taegan had his 4th scope today. We were expecting a clear scope so we could start a food trial. His results weren't good and were actually worse than the results from his failure on the wheat trial. S0 we won't be starting any food trials until we figure out what he is allergic to now and I have a million questions as usual. Did he develop another allergy we don't know about? Am I giving him something that I'm not aware of? Was he even allergic to wheat? We just took a few steps backward which I think is common with this disease.
Now we will have to eliminate more of the foods which I was already giving him and keep shooting for a clean scope. I am also going back to the allergy doc to do more skin prick testing to see if anything has changed since last May.
Taegan's Doc gave me some recent information on a 14 yr. study of EE. Many ask me if he will grow out of this. Out of 562 patients studied, 11 had complete resolution of their EE which is almost 2%. Of the 562 studied, 33 developed tolerance to 1 or more of the foods causing EE which is around 6%.
These are worse numbers than I thought.
We always get the wagon and walk laps while waiting for the procedure.
Sorry this is kind of graphic.
