My DS had skinpr!ck tests at the RCH allergy clinic yesterday and showed up with allergies to eggs, hazelnuts and cashews. We've been advised to avoid all treenuts and eggs until we go back for review in 6 months. They can't advise us what sort of reaction he would have if he accidentally consumed them (i.e. mild skin irritation versus anaphylaxis) so better safe than sorry. Thus far his history has been eczema (2.5 months), hives (with 2 particular outbreaks, cause unkown) and dermagraphia.

So he hasn't been fed any of the problem foods, but I do eat them. I forgot to ask them if I should be avoiding them or not? I've read that egg allergens can pass through breastmilk. I'm actually planning to stop feeding expressing in 4 weeks, and will slowly use what supply of EBM I have (4.5 litres frozen) as we phase in cow's milk. So obviously some of the EBM was produced on my normal diet, as I was not avoiding those particular foodswhile I stockpiled.

So I don't know if it's worth cutting egg/nuts out for these last 4 weeks or not, so the fresh EBM would be free of them. I'm gonna ring them and check on Monday, but wondered if anyone else had experience with this?
