Sean's First Food Challenge!

Most of you are aware that my Sean has multiple food allergies, well today I have some good news to share...

Sean did a food challenge with wheat at the allergist office this morning.  The numbers on Sean's last blood test for wheat where low.  They told us to bring some wheat crackers, they would do a skin test and if that was negative we could try giving him the wheat.

His skin test was negative!  The food challenge basically went as follows...
They give him a piece of the wheat cracker, waited 15 minutes, checked his skin and vital signs.  They  repeated this process 4 times.  He was absolutely fine, no hives or rashes!  He wanted to keep eating the crackers!

I asked the doctor if we had to gradually introduce the wheat into his diet or could he have a bowl of pasta right away...she said give him the pasta!  So guess what we are having for dinner tonight?!
