Hello.  Huge thanks and ((((hugs)))) to those who were so kind to respond and check in on us!!!!  What would I do without you all??!!

  I spoke to the GI and to the pulmonologist (I never found an allergist I LOVE and I REALLY trust these 2 docs so I use them)...they both said it was probably the oatmeal or bananas (and the pulmo said I should havecalled, he is there for me 24/7....awwww how nice)...no way to tell which food (oatmeals or bananas) since he tests neg to everything;  keep him away from these 2 foods for a while.  Give him a few days to settle down (they said if he seemed fine move on with food intro but I am scared so I am keeping him on just neocate and rice), and then move ahead with the next food, which I told them would be butternut squash and they were fine with.  They both feel that waiting 1 week between foods is STILL sufficient....I said even though it took 6 days sinc elast food intro to react and they both said YES...that some people do take more time to react BUT that it could be 3 weeks, 3 months, some people don't react for years and then 1 day, whammo...so we can delay introductions endlessly in the fear something might happen...it might...and then we deal with it...but they both feel that 1 week between foods is still enough!  Sooo, we charge ahead with Neocate and rice, and then on Saturday (I think 3 days rest for his body is reasonable, eventho they said it is unnecessary) I will try the Squash.  Wish me luck...fingers crossed.  What order did you intro foods??  My plan was/is : Rice (passed this fine); Oats (we are considering this failed), Bananas (we are considering this failed); and then squash, apples, carrots, pears, sweet potatoes, peaches, green beans, peas, prunes.  All stage 1, all beech nut.  Any advice or thoughts???  Thanks from the bottom of my petrified heart...also the doc is renewing our Epi for Tyler (exp. 4/04) and now 1 for Hunter...oh joy!!
