We were so thrilled to have him gaining weight again and see his development skills flourish, but we knew we had to get to the bottom of the cause of his allergy. The docs suggested that few kids relapsed after a course of the inhaler treatment, so we did not change his diet. Within a week of finishing the treatment, the vomiting returned. We also made a connection with how red his cheeks were. There was a big possibility it was all connected, but to what we weren't sure...
After his relapse, we pushed for a visit with the Peds allergist. This testing came up negative to all, but after talking with the doc, we were not surprised. As he put it, EE is not like other food allergies where someone might have contact or ingest it and break out or worse. EE is an allergy that is a reaction after being exposed over a period of time. He likened it to a nickel allergy when someone wears jewelry and only breaks out after continuous wear over several days or more. Our allergy was something that was a continuous exposure over time. That was going to me much more tricky to narrow down.
