It presents itself in copious amounts of puke. Lovely :). She is 13 months, and we haven't been brave enough to reintroduce it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857231 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:00:52 +0000 matador84 857231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: good idea. Our next appt is his one year in 3 months though! I'm really wanting to try egg with him...I'm not creative with breakfast options. :-)</p> <p>@MrsScallop: I've been playing it pretty safe. I'm so paranoid about reactions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857221 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:56:36 +0000 MrsScallop 857221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: thanks for the flu vaccine reminder! I know I have seen something about that before, but didn't even think about it!</p> <p>@matador84: I had thought we needed to wait to try egg, but the Dr specifically said egg is ok and even that introducing potential allergens earlier reduces the chance of a reaction occuring. Now I am nervous about trying some other common allergens early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857215 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:55:02 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 857215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Why don't you make a little scrambled egg and give it 15 minutes prior to your next pediatrician appointment? They'll know what to do if something happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857211 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:53:58 +0000 matador84 857211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: what is a good way to introduce it? How much? I'm so scared LO will have a reaction and I won't know what to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857205 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:52:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 857205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Early introduction of egg has been associated with lower incidence of allergy to it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857194 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:49:14 +0000 matador84 857194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm scared to give egg and LO is 9 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857191 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:48:17 +0000 katsupgirl 857191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had an egg allergy scare. She got super itchy and had bumps and redness on her arms. I'm going to ask her ped at our next visit. It was either the egg or the small bit of butter we used. Sometimes greasy things break me out so it could've been that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857186 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:45:11 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 857186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had an egg protein intolerance that lasted from 4 months to about a year. I didn't introduce until about 15 months to be sure. </p> <p>Reminder: be very cautious about the flu vaccine. Lala definitely used to react to it! (but she's ok now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/egg-allergy#post-857181 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:43:45 +0000 MrsScallop 857181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months old and we just started solids this week. At her last ped appointment, the Dr said we didn't really have any restrictions to what foods to give her other than no honey or choking hazards. With that in mind, DH gave C a few bits of scrambled egg during breakfast. Shortly after though, C got what looked like hives or a small rash on her chin, around her mouth, and a couple spots on her knee. DH is colorblind and couldn't see it, but I swear she reacted in some way. The rash and spots went away within an hour. I assume this means she has some level of an egg allergy, but with a very mild reaction. How long do I need to wait before introducing egg again? Has anyone else experienced an egg allergy? How did your LO react and for how long? </p>
