[quote=Anonymous]Here’s what you know/should know from your allergist: -80% of kids outgrow dairy/egg -That window closes rapidly as they get older - At 3, he tolerated (not well, but tolerated) 6g (6g!) of egg protein today -Ingesting the food is the surest way for his immune system to recognize its food -Avoiding the food increases the likelihood of persistent allergy There’s no harm in taking it way down (1/2 egg, 1/4 egg) and giving that frequently to build up his tolerance and your confidence, until you’re ready to give eggs freely. Baked egg protein is very denatured (broken down), and it’s not necessary or helpful to take it that far back. Check with your doctor. Always have epi.[/quote]
