I have heard many people on this list say that their PED says "No allergy testing is allowed before 3" (as though this is some sort of law?). My son was finally tested at 15 months (RAST for a variety of foods) because his eczema was very bad and I finally complained enough to the PED to convince her we had better try it. He came back positive for many things that were also (invisibly) dmaging his intestines. We could then remove these. It is not always just milk causing the reactions (although milk is often one of children's allergies). I urge everyone to disagree with PED's first opinion when they won't even test! Sure, their reaction score might not 'match' their physical reaction (ie. they seem omore allergic on test that than in real life) but at least you find out what you might have to avoid. I am so glad I know. My son would not have been able to take eating so many allergenic foods up til the e age of three. My PED called and apologized so profusely when she found out he "really" did have food allergies. SUsan.
