Hi just recieved a letter from peads outpatient re my 13mo DS bloods.
He has a history of reactions (urticaria/vomiting/diarroea/hysterics) with dairy, egg, sesame and spinach.
Finally got bloods done at 12mo including coeliac as I have coeliac and he 'looks' coelic shaped IYKWIM.
Report says coeliac test negative and low IgE levels so RAST tests not done.
His iron levels have come back as v low despite a really good diet so he's now on iron supps.
Not sure what this means and not got his next appt til May which is with allergy clinic and includes my epipen practice.
Is this all good news or should they have done the tests?
Wondering if his IgE levels would be lowered by avoidance of dairy for 4 months (since milk challenge when weaning off BF) and egg for >6mo. He only came into skin contact (my touch on his torso) once with sesame about 6mo and got hives. Has never near nuts/shellfish which were added to the RAST list in the clinic.
Have had problems with this hospital in the first place when they originally gave useless advice (continue all diet and review in 6mo, had big reaction and got referred to big paeds hospital who gave pepti-J, advised give NO known allergens and referred back for continuing care).
Not sure what to do next...
