Same here. My little boy is 3 1/2 with severe peanut and egg allergy. He also has eczema.

Hi Crimson, I responded to this. If you are interested in chatting about our experience and who we went to as an allergist in Atlanta, please let me know directly and I will be happy to share my experience with you! It is a tough road, but it DOES get better. hang in there!

If you DO come to Atlanta or would like to pick my brain feel free to reach out. Directly. I have some insights that might be helpful regarding providers and my experience.

Thank you so much for this encouraging response! My parents live in Atlanta and I have considered taking my son there for a second opinion. His test results are very high at the moment, but I am hoping we can continue to test and he will eventually grow out of the allergies.

Hi - yes, my child has outgrown both. We did a food challenge around 2.5 years to peanut, which I was resistant to, but he passed. We live in Atlanta and the chief of the allergy department is a peanut expert. He explained to me, that there are about 8 proteins in peanut, and despite the fact that my son had elevated IGE values, the value to the 1 particular protein that typically causes anaphylaxis was low enough for him to consider a challenge. I was terrified, but he was confident, and our child passed.

For egg, he failed the challenge at 2.5 years. He had very high IGE. However about a year and a half later, he had a very small amount of food with baked egg in it. He did not react. Anyhow, I'm not sure when exactly he outgrew his egg allergy due to limited testing during the pandemic, but he outgrew it well before 5. feel free to reach out in case you have other questions.
