So a few results back from the lab.
1. Firstly, my paed rang me about Kais allergy scratch tests. He answered that yes, the small swellings he had for wheat, cod fish, brazil nut and walnut are mild allergies
I am still digesting this. I don't really know what it means for Kai except of course that he shouldn't eat these foods.
2. I got the IgG test back for the 210 foods. I did not discuss with the Dr yet. It has not bee interpreted yet. However, I have looked at the results and Kai got reactions ranging from 0-20 for about 20 foods, hoever these are classified as a negative result. I think one needs over 24 to be considered borderline, and over 50 to be counted properly. It seems the test may have been a waste of time, the lab informs me that if Kai has been on immune boosting supplements- which he has that the numbers would be suppressed. Now why wouldn't my Dr have made me aware of this when considering on spending the $$ for the test?
I have no idea if he really has a igG response to the 20 foods or if they are really neglible responses and basically that his food intolerance does not invovle the igG pathway. A long wait till 4th Oct Dr appt to find out.
The three main foods that come up were cashews and egg white - he eats these everyday. Then oats and peas. He has had about 10 oat grains in his life, so I find that wierd. I feel that the test is one bug fat red herring. A few foods came up that he has never eaten like clam. But I will give the benefit of the doubt until Oct 4th.
