Questions I still have from L's results

Questions I still have: Is L really not allergic to gelatin? The gelatin in Frosted Mini Wheats used to really make him cough, but he did love them? He dislikes most food with gelatin (jello and marshmallows) L always has hives it is a daily occurrence. The cleared up a lot once latex, food dyes and gelatin were removed from his day/diet. But, I learned today there are sooooo many reasons for hives. Non-food, non-latex reasons are very possibly the answer. The hives I thought L was getting to food dyes and latex could also be explained by Immunologic and Non-immunologic Urticaria...basically HIVES. There are several causes of hives and they do explain exactly when L has hives that I thought were food related. Reasons include being exposed to hot and cold temperatures in the pool and bathtub. L regularly gets hives at the pool and almost nightly in the bathtub, which could mean the temperature change causes hives, not the latex toys or the food/medicine he just consumed before bath time. L will get hives when upset and when he plays outside (exercise induced hives), when clothes are too tight (in his most recent growth spurt his clothes, specifically his elastic waist band of underwear, which contains Latex, itch and cause redness and hives), after playing the violin and having an object rest in the "cave" of his neck, the resting of the solid object could cause the hives as opposed to the latex(in the form of bandages to make it softer) on the violin). Hindsight is 20/20 it is easy to see where I could suspect a latex allergy in place of Urticaria. Some foods and medicines do cause Uticaria, such as eggs, nuts, fish, and penicillin and sulfa. But, I am definitely rethinking why L gets hives. I feel like we have some answers from today's results and we have a possibility of adding Eggs, Milk, Gelatin and Dyes back into L's regular diet. Wouldn't that be wonderful? We are still a NUT free home. We now will not let L near PEAS:) Lucky kid...well at least he thinks so. He was not at all allergic to green beans, so I will put those back in his diet:)Sorry L! All of this information is a lot for L, who is just 5 years old. My plan is to talk to him about Urticaria and call it just plain old HIVES and to try to teach him better how to understand his body and be able to alert us, his teacher or other adults when he recognizes signs of an allergic reaction. Also, L very rarely complains of itchiness or any discomfort when he has hives. Hives are not treated with medicine unless they become painful or disrupt life work, play and/or sleep (this is the advice from my doctor....not medical advise for you or your child). I will let you know what the skin results tell us and possibly the food challenge. I really never imagined we would work up to a food challenge for L. If we do great, I welcome it. But, if we don't L already lives without and we know God has a plan for L and we will find Joy in the Journey with or without egg and milk allergies:)
