Ben and Eggs

Instead of pancakes I just went for it this morning: I made very well-cooked scrambled eggs. Ben ate them, and I'm happy to announce that he didn't react! What a happy, happy day around here. One life-threatening food allergy is more than enough for this family thankyouverymuch.


I'll still be cautious with the eggs for the next week or so, only offering in the AM so I can keep an eye on him. Then when I'm satisfied I might try something like a merangue to see how he does with uncooked egg white product. Apparently it's not uncommon for kids to be okay with egg white proteins that have been denatured by heat, but still react to uncooked egg white.

Updates to follow.
