Hello all I was just online today just wanted to share some info I found online. Its shows that kids could out grow there food allergies when they get older. Allergists now have found a new technique to test children's food allergies.
They now are using the oral test where you bring in a food that your child is triggered to and in front of the Allergist they consume it. This is scary sometimes but the Allergist is there with you ready to use the epipen if needed. From a personal point of view I kind of like this since it is the alternative to the skin prick test.
It's kind of a nightmare when they use the skin prick test, they start sticking your kid with tons of needles and all you can do is hold them down and comfort them until its over. Then they get hives all over there back and can't scratch them, it's really unbelievable.
But things are changing now since 1 in 13 kids have food allergies now a days has food allergies.
