Update on Matthew's allergies...

Some good news---because of his wheat allergy he was never able to play with Play-Doh since it has wheat in it. Well, about 6 weeks ago he played with it at a children's museum and had no reaction so of course I went out and bought him a little bucket of it. He hasn't stopped playing with it since!!! And no reactions....even when he tries to "taste" it. LOL

So since then we've tried regular white saltines. His allergist suggested that we try wheat at some point, but to make sure it's white wheat and not whole wheat (which contains the gluten I guess). He hasn't had any reactions to Saltines and absolutely LOVES them. We then tried making pancakes with regular flour, no eggs and rice milk--he did well!!!

So we are feeling better that perhaps he is growing out of his wheat allergy at least. It'd be such a blessing to get rid of all of them, but we'll take what we can get.
