Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Hi, Zachary was tested at 8 months and 17 months. They did 17 tests over both arms the first time and 8 the second time. I don't know about the eos's since he didn't have an endoscopy after the testing. The only thing though is Zachary responds to everything including dyes, glycerin etc. but tests negative on skin testing except for milk and casein. Since he drinks mainly formula, everything I put in his mouth except 3 things causes his EG. I actually had him on potatoes for about 5 months straight daily and since I took them away I saw a different baby. He was happy and sleeping. My older son had testing at around 3 and he had them on his back about 20. I don't know if this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Hi, I have a few questions......Spencer seems as if he is reacting to just fumes of food and also a lot of other things as well (not just food). Dr. Putnam just told me that he would like Spencer skin tested for as much as he possibly be tested for so that we know not to let him around the fumes and what really to stay away from. I was wondering if those of you who have been through skin testing yourself or with your kids if their Eos's have gotten worse because of the actual skin testing itself? I just know that Spencer reacts so terribly to things that I am afraid it will send him downhill. Also, in a child who is 3 1/2, will they do only a few skin tests at one time? Any other information would be appreciated whether it be good or bad. TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
