Need some advice from those who have been through a food challenge: We were at the allergist yesterday and the dr said that my DD’s blood test results showed almond and tuna were undetectable. She suggested a food challenge but my DD (9 years old) refuses. She is so fearful that something terrible is going to happen to her, despite knowing full well that it would happen in a controlled setting with medical supervision. And this is exactly why I want her to do it. She is so unbelievable paranoid and I want her to understand that she doesn’t have to be fearful of what truly will not harm her. So my question is: how did you get your kids to get on board with the food challenge? I’ve laid out the most compelling arguments in favour of doing it but she doesnt want to have anything to do with it. Thanks!
