Hi
Ds2 recently got tested for environmental and food allergies.
He got 4 swellings of 2mm in diameter.
These were: wheat, cod fish, brazil nut and walnut.
The Dr informs me that this means he has mild allergies, 10mm is considered a strong allergy.
If it is a mild allergy does it mean he will grow out of it quicker than a strong allergy?
How can you have a mild allergy, I thought an allergy was an allergy?
what is the treatment - avoidance until retesting shows it is not an allergy?
I find that strange because for food intolerance, one treatment method is to expose one in small amounts to build up a tolerance. The other method is to let the body heal by avoiding the foods, then retry at a later date - similar to allergies I guess.
And lastly, I cannot belIeve my son has 4 allergies

+ plus food intolerances to salicylates, caesin, preservatives and additives!!!! This is pretty hard to digest right now.
