My daughter is almost 16 mo .... and we are having RAST testing (which
involves drawing several tubes of blood .... we are NOT doing the scratch
testing at this time) done in a few days.  She had a serious allergic
reaction to something (we THINK it might be soy) ...... and my 3yo son is
being tested then too.  We too are tired of the gues work, because while we
are GUESSING our children might have a more serious life-threatening reaction
..... I did not at all mind the guess work and all the research until now !!
