Hey there, just wondering those of you who have children with an egg allergy, do you bake cakes with eggs or allow your child to eat muffins and things that have been made with egg?
I dont really know what i can and cant give lycan....i understand that bacon and eggs pies and things like that are a no no but what about baking?? On another note, something that happened on the weekend... Lycan smashed an egg and rubbed in all over his face and in his eye.....with on seconds he looked like a child that had been beaten up. I gave him Cetirizine which is a allergy relief syrup but his face still looks horrible today. Im thinking it has triggered off his eczema. We're off to the doctors tomorrow to set everyones mind at ease. -------------

I was advised to not give eggs in any form, so Spencer doesn't even have them in baking. I have not gone as far as not giving foods that have been processed on equipment that processes eggs or may contain traces of egg. But their is only one food he has that says that anyway.
Also be careful cos I thought bread was ok (and supermarket stuff generally is) but recently found that the cafe I go to all the times makes their bread with milk and eggs  Bit of a bummer, especially when he is allergic to diary as well, even the dairy and gluten free one wasn't safe for him cos of the eggs. And there was me thinking bread was made from flour, water and yeast!!!
It's possible for them to have reactions from touching the foods even if they don't eat them. Some with really bad allergies can have anaphalaxis (sp?) from just being kissed by someone who has recently eaten the food they are allergic to. -------------

I do avoid every single foods that contain egg even baking. My son and daughter still react to egg in cake and bread as well as raw eggs/cooked eggs. Even some cereal bars have egg in it. I used to buy cereal bars cos they have no egg in it, then few months later, both son and daughter had allergy reaction in the back of car, I was puzzled how this happened. Turned out, without any warning, they started to add egg into cereal bars....so advice, look out for new addition to food without warning too. Egg in chocolate bars, jelly, ice cream, biscuits, sauces is also no-no and careful with possible trace of egg white in biscuit's topping from cafe/bakery, always double-checked with staff, I will be after last experience at the cafe!
Every times they have egg allergy reactions, they always covered in eczema/rashes for few days before start to clear up, that is normal with allergy reaction as well as my baby who is allergic to milk get eczema/rashes for few days too. In the past, I was told to continue to give antihistamine for few days afterward if rashes is bad till the rashes is clear up, HTH. |

Nope, no eggs in any form. Sam has a serious egg allergy and the doctors said to be especially vigilant of anything with egg hidden in them like muesli bars etc.
I just use the egg replacer instead and haven't noticed any difference in baking at all. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You can just use vege oil as well, I have done that for muffins and you honestly wouldn't know. -------------

We were 100% egg free too, I used egg replacer in baking. When she tested negative for egg allergy at 3 1/2 we were allowed to start introducing it in baking etc. and if she coped OK with that then we were able to try whole egg. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

we used egg replacer with baking until Xavier stole some kids muffin and ate it, he had no reaction so he now eats baked goods with eggs. my doctor told me that baking changes the protein in eggs but that a lot of kids are still allergic to it. And to introduce it very slowly and carefully. ie starting with traces of eggs.
Xavier got an egg from the hen house the other day and it broke on his hand, no reaction there either. He is suposedly anaphylactic to it... specialists eh. Fingers crossed that the allergy has out grown him! I wouldnt introduce it though if he is having major reactions like his face swelling and bruising. Id stay well away from them until you have a controlled test at the hospital at 3 years. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  tickers" /></a>

Alize had anaphylactic reaction at 1yr to eggs and was completely off eggs for 6mths but then I introduced some muffins that had egg in it and now he can have most baking without a reaction but he cannot have hot food with egg in it like fried rice (or bacon and egg pie etc) as he tried to get some of his sisters once and just touching the fried rice brought him up in welts and puffed his face. Ekk so now its just breads and muffins he can have it in but any other form is a no no. He is going to be challenged in hosp when he turn 3 to see if he has outgrown the allergy or not. Allergies are damn weird sometimes ------------- http://lilypie.com">
