I will definitely be looking into this further - thanks so much for aharing. And I hope this now helps your boys - BTW, have you tried "No-Egg"? You can get it in the healthy food/gluten free section of the supermarket. I'm not sure it can make omelettes but it can be used as a substitute for eggs in recipes - hope that helps!Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645347058596682545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485036540892200464.post-87980698517723850982012-09-27T13:17:05.470+10:002012-09-27T13:17:05.470+10:00Gosh that is just amazing, I am glad that you feel...Gosh that is just amazing, I am glad that you feel you are making forward steps.

I haven't had any problems with Mia yet, but at 10 months old there is still plenty of time and plenty of food left that she hasn't tried so who knows what will happen in the years to come. I am going to tell my sister about this, she has suspected a dairy intolerance for a while now but has never been able to have it proven conclusively so this might be worth a try.<br /><br />As for the eggs, I don't know of a substitute but I was talking to a doctor friend of mine on Tuesday, her daughter is allergic to egg white, and apparently researchers are working on a way to eliminate the protein that causes the intolerance to create a hypo-allergenic egg. Apparently the eggs never used to cause so many issues for so many people but it's suspected that the hormones that chickens are given has contributed to it. They've been working on it for 10 years though so it could still be a while yet!Kylie Purtellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185153539010825877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485036540892200464.post-42294181716577199102012-09-26T10:14:06.247+10:002012-09-26T10:14:06.247+10:00It's such a difficult process to pinpoint the ...It's such a difficult process to pinpoint the exact culprits, and then even the level of intolerance (as it may be negligible and all about balance).

Definitely becoming more aware, and having tests now to be able to pinpoint suspected issues.<br /><br />Both the little boys had skin prick tests done over a year ago. It showed no allergic reaction. So then we started the elimination process on the eldest one and eventually narrowed it down to Salicylates, Amines and Dairy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902751248204238565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485036540892200464.post-68409301039561998852012-09-26T10:02:38.859+10:002012-09-26T10:02:38.859+10:00Thanks for sharing this!

My 2 year old has some significant food intolerances (suspect dairy, egg and something in sushi!) and it would be so nice to have a way to pin down the foods without the strict requirements of elimination diets.

I'm so amazed at how much can be told about an individual through a few hair samples!<br /><br />I once had a live blood test done where your blood is put straight under a microscope and it's amazing to see everything move about! <br /><br />I work in the early childhood industry and again it astounds me with the amount of children that walk through our doors with allergies and intolerances, some of which are life threatening! Makes you think? Is it because we are becoming more aware of such issues? But why are there more cases? It's a common thing for me to have so many Action Plans within my days at work!<br /><br />Sorry for the essay :)Modern Day Mummyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600426584576986011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485036540892200464.post-42795606632142977782012-09-24T16:25:01.810+10:002012-09-24T16:25:01.810+10:00There is a good chance his issues are related to d...There is a good chance his issues are related to diet.
