The List Gets Longer - Part 2

After breaking out into hives from a visit to the grocery store, the allergist suggested that we go ahead and test the top 8 allergies (http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens) that account for 90% of all food allergies.  Results: We already knew of the eggs, but we now had a diagnosed peanut and milk allergy.

Since the peanut diagnosis was not the result of an encounter, we were encouraged to rid our house of peanuts and products with peanuts, which resulted in binge eating of a lot of Halloween candy!

Following this test, we enjoyed close to two months of zero food related reactions.  For the first time since he was born, the list of foods that W could eat, outnumbered the things that he couldn't.

That was of course until the dreaded DEATH COOKIE (sorry Mom).
