Results of Ben's egg allergy test today

Well, he tested negative. I'm puzzled. The allergist is very confident in the negative result and thinks perhaps he could have a sensitivity, rather than a full-blown allergy, which means it's not life-threatening. I've requested a food challenge (Ben would be fed amounts of egg in a medical environment and observed for a reaction), and fortunately he's willing to offer the challenge despite his confidence in the test results.

So that's it.

I'm interested to see how the challenge goes (and mostly what the allergist thinks of Ben's 'reaction' to egg). I'll update when we have an appointment, and again when we have the results.
