Re: IgG/IgE test results - need help

It's likelier that a person will outgrow an IgG reaction than an IgE
reaction,but it's no guarantee. My son has had some forever, including several
we're certain he never ate himself (but could have gotten cross-contaminated or
touched, or through my breastmilk or in utero. The tests aren't perfect,
either.We've had the best success with strict rotation of foods: 2 days on then
5 days off of every food he eats (and avoidance of the allergens), later we
relaxed to 3 days on and 4 days off. We've earned a lot of foods back that way,
but not all.

With just a few foods to eat, you will probably need to include the lower
allergen ones to get a sufficient diet, unless he's getting that through his
EO28.

There are a couple of reasons that I know of to avoid yellow/red/orange foods-
phenol intolerance (red ears and hyperactivity right after consuming), or
failure to convert beta carotene (yellowish tinge to the palms).

showed IgE to eggs.  Can IgE reactions ever be eliminated?  I am a little
overwhelmed about how to feed these guys when their diet is already so limited. 
I haven't talked w/ Dr. Usman yet, but did cosult w/ Pam @GPL.  She said since
DS is so reactive that I just have to try to stick to the lower ones.  Do they
normally tell you to avoid things in yellow or orange?  Any thoughts? 
Encouragement?

So the foods you gained back were IgG foods, not IgE foods?  How long did that take?  I am pretty sure if I only stuck with the foods that were in the green,...

We don't know for sure, because we'd never done an IgG test before, so we weren't able to distinguish between IgG and IgE. However, that is the nature of IgG...
