Also Shedd's Willow Run Soybean Margarine however i have never tried it.

Actually we had a challenge at the doctor’s office and he did great! And you are right I was try to think what can I give him now?  I made banana bread with eggs and he loved it is so exiting but I am so use to avoid eggs that I couldn’t think of anything else.. I have a question for you… where do you buy you margarine supplement? Because I want to make him some cookies but all the recopies that I know call for margarine and I don’t know where and what kind to buy,, Do you have any recipe for cookies without margarine?  Leyla Thank you!

I am very happy for you! There is a whole lot of things that he can have with eggs... definitely i would start with just eggs first. Make scrambled eggs for him, see how he does. You can also just make hard boiled eggs, or make an omelet adding some of the veggies that he already likes. You can definitely add eggs to baked treats, like cupcakes, muffins, cookies etc.. And for pasta, he can definitely have any of the pasta or noodles. Have fun you two, i can relate when you have avoided a food so long, now you can have it, you almost forget what you can do with it :) Enjoy Sophia. Hi Leyla,

The good thing is now you know what his allergies are. I make sure all our friends know what he can and can't have. He is still youn g right now and can't understand why mama doesn't want him to eat this or that, but he will eventually grow up. I know it is easy for us to feel guilty you are constantly saying no you can't eat this or that, but it is our job, we are just trying to protect our kids the best way we can. So when i have kids over i cook what Julian can have and if other mommies bring a dish over they also try to bring something that is allergy free. For his birthday, i make his cake, and now that he can have wheat, i plan on baking everyone's cake too, in the past i used to buy the store brand cake for everyone and bake the allergy free one for him. If you have a playdate, call ahead and find out what the other moms will be serving if there is food involved, bring your substitutes. Accidents will happen sometimes, but very rarely, when they do, just reach out in your diaper bag for your Benadryl, or whatever antihistamine applicable. Hang in there. David will be fine as he has a caring mom like you around! I feel your pain, but it does get better. The good thing is now you know what his allergies are.

Finally when I was feeling like you know he is a normal child and he eats pretty much everything, an accident happens! My friend said she vacuumed so I was okay but when I saw that I just started crying, I knew we were going to end at the ER because that always happened before when he had a reaction he gets so sick that we need to cal 911(when we didn’t know he was allergic) We came home and I watched him like his shadow and thank god nothing happened to him I think I saw him on time. I do have Benadryl but I was just waiting. Now I am so scared I want him to be a normal kid :S I don’t want him to feel like his mom is going to be like his shadow all the time  How do you do it? Play dates? Birthdays? Play areas? Leyla It was so scary

If the dough had milk, butter, or eggs, then that would cause some kind of a reaction but flour alone is ok. Also, for any immediate reaction, David would have probably broken out in a rash, or react in a way that you would have seen a change in him. If so far you do not see any change in him, chances are he is ok. Do you have Benadryl at home? If you do, keep it close just in case he reacts, you can just give him the Benadryl, just follow the dosage instructions on the bottle, or what your allergist recommends and give him some. Don't panic, you may have caught him on time, and there may be no reactions. Hey Leyla,

Like it would say Dairy or whey, lactose all this mean milk. Still read the ingredients, some labels will not show them as it is in the ingredients.
