Beans and the Allergist

A couple weeks ago Beans had the much awaited allergist visit.  He got some good news - most of his food allergies are not the IgE type, meaning not the anaphylactic type.  He still has the latex and bee/wasp anaphylaxis to be tested further later.

In the meantime he has no additional dietary restrictions from this appointment, but the allergist wasn't confident enough to give new foods either.  Patch testing may be set up sometime in the summer.  He said that some GIs trust them and other GIs don't so he'll put Beans through it if she wants it, but not unnecessarily which I appreciate.

Unfortunately, despite the massive amount of calories he's consuming between orally eating and his 6 tube feeds, weight gain still eludes him.  I'm not sure what we need to do to get back to that steadily gaining kid again.  May's GI visit and scope may give us more answers.
