Long shot- any allergists in here who can help me with results? Or anyone who has gotten Kaiser blood results? - October 2023 Babies | Forums | What to Expect (2024)

My first was allergic to egg and egg whites. She is now 6 and grew out of it within 2 years of age. The allergist first did a blood test similar to this. It showed around 8 things she was “mild” allergic to and “high”was the egg. So then when we went for the actual allergist appointment They did the skin prick test where they use baby’s back and put some of the allergen in to see if they react. So they used this blood test to see which foods to test her skin for. So the only thing she was allergic to was egg even though there were 8 things she could have maybe been allergic to by the blood test. (One was beef which she ate all the time with no sensitivity) The blood test is not accurate but the skin test is supposedly. So don’t worry much about the blood test until they actually do the skin test with really isn’t that bad on baby. The hardest thing about it was trying to keep her on her belly for 15 mins while waiting for her skin to react or not react.

So take away is don’t worry about the blood test. My daughter would scream in pain and throw up when she ate egg, like as soon as she ate it within 10 mins of eating it. She would also get a rash all over her skin or on her face. It was not fun! But she grew out of it within a year. So hang in there!
