I saw another BMB did this and I thought it would be a nice gesture for us to create a thread wishing the June 16 BMB well and also any knowledge or advice we can share. Is there anyone else interested in doing this?
Was thinking about this today. I'm all for it, but maybe wait til May?

My FFFC is that I hide sweets from DH because he eats them like he's addicted to sugar and crap food. I'm still not done with the box of thin mints I bought last Wednesday, and my Cadbury stash has been safe for a month. I also have Cheetos that I bribe the kids with occasionally. Also hidden. He whined about only getting one serving of the pudding I made for the kids this week, but there's still a half a pie (that he begged me to make) in the fridge, and it needs to be tossed. Not making pie again.
LO has been so whiny at home today, but was a complete angel while out today. Figures.
Nothing yet. He's actually out of the office until next Wednesday. My understanding was they were going to send him the picture and information and call us if they needed to see us immediately. Otherwise the ped will call us Wednesday to follow up and decide. In the mean time we've been told to not give him eggs anymore. In the mean time P is his usual happy self.
I know nothing about food allergies. Can reactions happen sporadically and randomly and sometimes not at all?
We went to Disney on Ice this morning and then wandered around the Plaza for lunch and shopping. I am so tired. It may have been the wine I had with lunch
Also - am I the only one who has no idea what my baby weighs?
I would know if I remembered to take T to his appts.... But he's around 22 lbs. At least, that's what my bathroom scale says when he sits on it.
His 9 month appt will be April 12th, when he's 10 months + 1 week.

IME, allergies either get worse over time (ie, results in anaphalaxis), or takes time to "build up" in your system, which is more of a sensitivity. I'm "allergic" to nightshades, and DS1 is as well. He was also sensitive to eggs from about age 1 to 4. If we eat those things daily, we get eczema (my face, his legs) after a few days. However, every once in a while is no problem.

DS1 is allergic to eggs since his transplant so I know a little. Egg allergies come in lots of forms. When they do the "skin prick" test on him they test about 4 different egg "proteins". Right now, DS1 can eat egg if it's cooked in the oven but that's it. Any other form results in rash like P's plus immediate breathing difficulties. My very basic understanding is that cooking in the oven is sufficiently hot to destroy the proteins to which he reacts. The good news is that by eating the very small amount of oven cooked egg (e.g. in baked meatballs or muffins), his immune system may "learn" not to react to egg proteins. Most (over 70% I think) kids outgrow egg allergies. So, I'm wondering if P has an egg allergy that is sensitive to one of the proteins that is sometimes destroyed when you cook eggs but sometimes not depending on the cooking temperature? But hey I'm no immunologist! @demanda, anything to add?
sammyca, thanks! Yeah he doesn't react to baked goods or meat loaf. It's been scrambled eggs that caused the reaction both times. Hopefully it will turn out to be just straight up eggs because eliminating all eggs anywhere seems like an overwhelming prospect.
I laughed out loud when I saw your demanda shout out. Haha
You know I just picture her reading all the allergy stuff with steam coming out of her ears and her fingers just prickling wanting to get on her keyboard and tell us how we know nothing and she knows everything because dammit she has a peanut allergy and no-one banned peanut butter at her school yet she is so miraculously wonderful that she lived to tell the tale. Accurate ooohburn? #growingballsbytheminute

I read this as "The wine I had FOR lunch " and felt a little jealous.

You know, I think she's moved on to preach about animal abuse these days....I'm disappointed by parentings lack of QFP, but I don't think they're quite on to her yet so I'll give them a break;)

You and your DS are sensitive to potatoes and tomatoes? You poor things :-(
