I know it’s a farming forum, not a health service, but has anyone had this done?
Our little boy has been at the allergy clinic since the age of 2, been on abstention diet of meat, fish, fruit and veg for the duration since (despite a bit of pressure to try scratch tests and eating trials) and he’s now almost 7.
On the last visit they took some blood to run tests on. Results back today, he’s still allergic to nuts.
Ok, great…… anything about the eggs, dairy, corn and others we discussed?
Oh no, that’s done thru eating trials.
We don’t really want to make him ill on purpose, especially going into winter, and have reservations on the scratch test doing more harm than good. In my head a blood test would be like a soil test, can add additional parameters, is it that straightforward? Can be done for nut allergy, can it be done for the others.
Has anyone done this privately?
