Environmental allergies, allergy shots, and a cheese question

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I need some counsel. Our recent visit to the allergist revealed that our ASD

fella is off the chart with environmental allergies which would explain his very

high IGE result. He also has anaphylactic food allergies. The allergist has

instructed us to begin allergy shots next week. He is almost 3 1/2. When I ran

all this information by Dr. G via e-mail he responded quickly saying an absolute

no to the allergy shots but a yes to the prescribed allegra. There was no time

for explanation and our next phone consult is two weeks away. I can understand

why he would say no to introducing the food allergens at low levels through the

shots . . . but why the environmental allergens? Does anyone have a similar

situation?

Also . . . I cannot find a " legal " cheese to top our GFCF pizza with. We have

only Whole Foods in town. Does anyone know a brand or type of cheese that I can

use?

Thanks,

Martha
