Where do you live?

One of my kids was just diagnosed w/ AGS. Not to hijack this thread, but I am looking for an allergist or pediatrician who is familiar with it. I was disappointed to hear our ped tell my son dairy is fine when that’s his biggest reaction.

Where did you end up going?

Oh I had no idea this was an issue. One of my cousins was just diagnosed. I'll make sure she knows.

How did it go?

Thank you. My allergist didn’t seem concerned. The dentist didn’t seem concerned. I have a few hours to figure out if I should have been more concerned. Fingers crossed!


Thank you for the referral

I recommend Dr Stuart Ross downtown DC but call and ask if he’s familiar with alpha gal. I would think yes, but best to ask. He’s very up on the latest, despite being very experienced.

Definitely loop in your allergist.

Checking in to see if anyone had tips?

No answers, but I am following this because my daughter has MCAS and food allergies.

We are looking into this practice -

Getting a procedure done this week and dentist was not familiar with alpha gal. I’ve read the numbing gel before Novocain is a no no. Anything else to keep in mind?


I’m most reactive to beef if that matters.

Also it’s a scary thing being the one to educate your provider. I like my dentist but if you know an alpha gal or allergen savvy dentist I’d be open to the referral. I’m in Arlington and don’t mind driving.
