Food Challenge

On May 13th, I drove Hudson down to UCLA Health in Santa Monica for another food challenge. This time we did almonds. I brought almond butter and safe cookies for him to eat it on. Then I made chocolate bark with sliced almonds and chocolate almond milk for him to try there if he passed the challenge. He was acting really silly this time around and wasn't as excited about the "food" as usual, but he passed with no issues and liked the chocolate and milk he got to have at the end. The allergy doctor was really happy with this one because the fact that he can tolerate almonds lowers the chances that he would have a severe reaction to peanuts. She encouraged us to get almonds into his diet as much as possible to hopefully decrease his peanut reaction so lucky little boy will be switching from rice milk to chocolate almond milk. 

While we were there, I also had a skin test done. As you can see from my results (left side is 1-7 and right side is 8-14) I am most allergies to birch trees then soy, then carrots. We actually have a birch tree in our yard, so that isn't ideal. Also, as you can see from the chart the birch is what cause a lot of my other "allergies"
