Scratch Test Results OT (LONG)

[Guest guest]

We're home from our appointment with Dr. Baptist. He

did a scratch test and these were the results:

2+: cocoa, cashews, egg, grapes, milk, celery,

chicken, A mold, C mold, mushroom, wheat, yeast, B

mold, Smut GR (what is this?).

1+: hazelnut, oat, orange, peanut, pork, rice,

shrimp, soy, tomato, cod, white potato, salmon.

The only things he didn't react to were the apple,

beef, cinnamon, corn, walnut, and tuna (which we won't

feed him because of Mercury). We were only able to do

32 scratches because he is so small. We have an

appointment for the next 32, then we'll need another

appointment to finish the groups.

What does all this mean? I talked to the doctor about

it, of course, but I'd love to hear other parents'

suggestions and what they have done. Do you eliminate

all the foods that they reacted to? Or is this where

the rotations come in? I tried to look in archives,

but I didn't have much luck. After 's

appointment, we had to go to the children's hospital

to have blood drawn to send to Alletest (?) in

Massachusettes. It completely slipped my mind that

is allergic to alcohol, and it didn't dawn on

me until he started having a reaction while she was

drawing the blood. He gets really inflamed everywhere

alcohol touches him. The lab tech freaked out,

apologizing, but it was my fault, I forgot about it!

So they had to have a nurse come look at it, and

washing it off with water helped a lot, so then we had

to go let Dr. Baptist's nurse look at it. She told me

that we needed to get a Medic Alert bracelet for him,

because he could die if he was in an accident and they

had to use a lot of alcohol to put an IV in. So I

have info on that--$35, then $15 every year, one

bracelet included with 60 characters engraved.

So the blood they drew was for a 92 food Elisa panel,

a Celiac test, and all those gluten and casein

antibodies. He also sent me home with test kits for

hair metal toxicity (try getting enough hair for that

off of a 16 month old boy's head--looks like his

brother took a razor to him), stool kit to send to

Great Smokies for parasite and wheat, and a Great

Plains Organic Acid Teast (we had this done 9 months

ago, so it's a repeat).

Dr. Baptist did tell me that there is a pediatrician

in his office building that will give the MMR

separately, so that is a relief. I think that Dr.

Baptist suspects Mercury poisoning, but has

never had an MMR, so he must have gotten it from one

of those immunizations they give during a baby's first

6 months. SCARY!

Anyone have any input? Please share. I'm feeling a

little depressed. He's allergic to every milk sub

that there is, with the exception of almond milk, and

we're not sure of that yet. Help!
