Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 We took our son, Milo, to get blood drawn for allergy testing. We'd been gluten and casein free for a few months and there were still a lot of bowel issues, so we thought we would bite the bullet and find out what else is wrong. Well, according to the doctor's office, the preliminary IGE (?) test score was 228, normal being 18. They then tested wheat, milk, cheese, tomatoes, soy, eggs, bananas, apples and oranges. The only thing that showed up as an allergy was cheese mold as a level two allergy. We also had them check rice and corn and bingo! He's also got a level 2 allergy to corn. We have to draw more blood for further testing (which is SO much fun with a nonverbal 5 year old who is 40 pounds of muscle), so we're going to test beef, pork and chicken. In the meantime, we've got to get rid of corn. What does this have to do with gfcfkids? Well, I wanted to shout out to any other parents who have gone corn free to see if they had any wisdom they wanted to share, and I also wanted to ask if I should necessarily continue the gfcf portion of the diet. Is it worthwhile to continue avoiding wheat when his blood didn't show any allergy to it? I'm not going to resume dairy, since he did show a reaction to cheese, and I have reacted to dairy when I've had it. Thank you for any and all help. --Sharlene PS Is Vance's Dari-Free okay in terms of corn? And if it isn't does someone want to buy a few boxes?
