And the food allergy results are...

So Ryan had his blood draw on 12/31/08 for IGG and IGE food allergies. We have been anxiously awaiting the results. Ry has been off all dairy since 12/22/08. Other than on Christmas night we have not had any fits even close to what we were going through.

Anyway, the test would score 0 if there was no allergy at all. Otherwise, the scale is 1 to 4, with 4 being the highest allergy reaction.

Ryan scored 4's on...
EGGS, MILK, SOY and WHEAT! (yikes)

Ryan scored 2 on...
PEANUTS

Ryan scored a 1 on...
CHOCOLATE, CORN, POTATOES, TOMATOES AND YEAST...AS WELL AS CATS

Very thankfully, he scored a ZERO for dog which means Tanner can remain a happy member of our home. She and Ryan are best friends and he would be heartbroken if she was gone. We aren't sure how we will adjust our diets to all of this new information. We have a follow up with his doctor on Feb. 3rd and we'll see what he suggests. The dairy free diet has been an adjustment for us, the sitter and grandparents BUT it has made such a difference for him. So we will see...stay tuned! :)
