So it has been a little over two weeks since we were supposed to give Taylor egg and soy again. I have been very hesitant with the egg and soy because I worried about his eczema. He has done really well. I haven't dared give him scrambled eggs yet, but I am going to try this week. Mostly his egg has come from things like Kirkland frozen waffles. I did let him have a tiny bit of Honey Nut Cheerios this morning which have almonds(which he isn't supposed to have). He really wanted to try them again and technically he didn't test positive for almonds, so we gave it a shot. He did experience some reflux today though. I think it could be the cheerios or it could be the ramen noodles I let him eat a tiny bit of last night. The ramen is really bad because it had all his allergies, plus more, that it was processed on the same equipment.
I just can't wait until his next testing, which is on June 3rd. Then it will give us some more clear answers hopefully about what Taylor can and can't eat. It is hard to feed him these foods when I know, or think I know that he is still allergic to them. I can tell that he doesn't function as well the days he eats more soy or egg. I still try to mostly feed him non-allergy food. Just keeping enough soy/egg in his system so that the tests will hopefully be accurate.
Taylor is getting better about knowing what he can eat and when he is hungry it's not such a sad thing that he can't think of what options there are to eat. He is such a good boy and almost always so tender and kind to everyone he sees. For example, at my piano recital(yes I take lessons), he handed out papers he colored to the participants at the recital. He just loves to give and make people feel loved.
I am truly grateful for the food labeling laws that have made my life so much easier. I don't feel so stressed anymore because we have found some favorite things Taylor loves and I know he is happier.
Life is GOOD.:)
