A Lead in the Mystery

After about 18 months into poor Aaron’s GI issues, we FINALLY have a lead. I had allergy testing repeated at his check up on Friday since his symptoms were still there despite medication and household modifications for dust mites (his only positive reaction previously). This time , we added three more environmental allergens and peanuts. Peanuts. I never would’ve guessed. Now we will be avoiding all products with peanuts and manufactured on equipment with peanuts. Then we will see GI again for a repeat endoscopy to see what they can see regarding the peanut allergy and the eosinophils in his esophagus.

About Amanda

Amanda Griffiths sometimes feels as though she's running a zoo instead of a home. With two active autistic boys, they often make the noise of six kids. Pepper in some Army life and cyber schooling for spice, and it's organized chaos at best. When visiting, please don't feed the animals. They have food allergies.

  1. O-the Joys of parenting… No Peanuts!! I would cry if I had to give up peanut butter… At least it’s a lead…. Hope the mystery gets solved soon.

    • The worst part for us is that we live by Hershey, and I don’t think there will be any more days out to Chocolate World anymore. I can’t find any info on cross contamination or peanuts on the Chocolate World site. I’m so not impressed with Hershey on that.

  2. I really hope this is it for you. I would love to see him get some relief!!! <3 Can't wait to hear the next update!

  3. that’s gotta be so rough. I hope it isn’t too hard to handle.

  4. I would sacrifice peanuts for any of my kids. I am just glad you found out what is causing the allergy. Good luck on the peanuts free life.
