My 2yo daughter tests positive via blood draw to both garlic and - TopicsExpress



          

My 2yo daughter tests positive via blood draw to both garlic and sesame. Weve avoided both for a year. Our new pediatric allergist said they were low allergies based on the numbers (.9 and .91) so she scheduled a food challenge. My daughter ingested cooked & raw garlic in a controlled environment over the span of four hours and was deemed clear of her allergy! I had no idea that a blood test confirmed allergy could be cleared in this way. The doctor said to keep benadryl on hand for strongly flavored garlic foods she may ingest, but that we wouldnt be needing an epi-pen. Has anyone else had a similar experience? It was just so eye-opening. Were going to schedule a sesame challenge next!
