Has anyone's baby had the RAST test done to detect food allergies? Daughter 7 weeks...? - 7 week infant with rash
My daughter is 7 weeks and an allergy or intolerance on to something in the milk. I'm pretty sure anyway. Last week she had had a rash and a little gas or diarrhea problems. The doctor told me to stop breastfeeding and to try Alimentum. (after cutting milk for 2 weeks and soy / eggs for a week without improvement)
The rash has cleared up and seemed the formula was well tolerated. Due to some health problems he had chosen breastfeeding. My lactation consultant suggested that there may be no overproduction of allergy. So I tried again to nurse. Well, within 2 days of rash with itching is back.
She's back in shape. The doctor offered a few suggestions. One is the RAST test. He said very convincingly at that young age and really for me. I am not very inconvenient to her daughter at all. Who has a successful breastfeeding, and to eliminate from your diet for Allergan RAST test positive for your baby?
I only want the best for my baby. And there are lots of information about allergy testing in youngInfants. Thank you for your contribution!

What foods are most likely to be a problem?
Some of the suspects are cow's milk products, soy, wheat, corn, eggs and peanuts.
Other suspect foods:
* Any food that a family member are allergic to
* A food that the mother has eaten a lot recently
* A new food (baby if the symptoms are new)
* A food that does not like the mother, but to eat while breastfeeding (and / or eat during pregnancy) for the benefit of their baby
* A food, the mother must, or he would feel after a bad day
Aware food likes and dislikes are the signs that your body can react abnormally.
Keep a food diary with a record of food consumed and the baby's behavior or symptoms with time of day for anyone who might be useful if you are trying to identify a food problem.

Radio-RAST test methods. Allergen-specific IgE were measured from blood samples. In general, skin testsING is more sensitive and specific, and has the advantage of lower costs and almost immediate results. The main indication for the examination is not possible or RAST skin test unreliable. Examples include (dermographism when the patient's welfare and radiant skin with trauma, regardless of allergy), severe dermatitis (skin test must be conducted on a relatively intact skin), lack of cooperation (eg, children) or when access is limited to the skin test facilities difficult or impossible. False positives and negatives produced the first, especially in patients with atopic eczema.

A RAST test (RAST) is an allergy test that the collection is connected by blood. A RAST can be performed to detect food allergies and other circumstances, where a skin test - the test most common allergy - can not do. Both tests are highly specific, although skin testing is more sensitive, less expensive and produces immediate results.
If you have symptoms of allergies - such as sneezing, itchy eyes, runny or stuffy nose, swollen sinuses, coughing and wheezing - an allergy test can be done to certain substances (allergens) are responsible for the allergic reaction to be identified.

The elimination diet
It is a diet that recommends the Martha breastfeeding practice in his opinion, if suspicious baby colic may be caused by sensitivity to foods in the diet as a nursing mother. The scheme was developed by William G. Crook, MD (detection of hidden allergies, Jackson, Tennessee developed: Professional Books, 1987), and a few variations, depending on how the symptoms of stress. The elimination diet we use is on the consumption of less food allergens in each food group. You may need to do this for two weeks, as it can take a long time that food damage to your system and the system of the baby. This variant is found to mothers get the fastest, most reliable support for their children evil
