As you all might know, Josh has a severe allergy to gluten ( any wheat, rye, barley..ext). He can't have gluten at all, not even a bite or he will be in pain. So before we ever talked about kids we were worried that they might have the same allergy. Now that Ben has started to eat more and more solid foods we wanted to look at getting him tested before we gave him any wheat products. Basically it is a 50/50 chance whether he will have it or not, but the doctor explained there is no way to test if he has the allergy if we have never given him gluten. So the next three weeks he is to have gluten ( as much as possible ) and see if he has any reactions. Luckily the trip to the allergist wasn't a total waste of time he tested Ben for all other possible allergies ( like milk, soy, dust, pollen, pets ext.) and it all came back negative! Hopefully we will say the same for the gluten allergy! I will keep you updated! Have a great weekend!
