Hello I want to mention another approach, made by a Spanish Pediatrician. He had contact with a mother whose baby was very allergic. She was advised to stop breastfeeding and start giving hydrolyzed formula to the baby instead. The pediatrician suggested the mother should take the hydrolyzed formula herself, and see what happens. Surprisingly, the baby was much better, when the mother ate the hydrolyzed formula instead of other foods. She then began introducing foods gradually to see the reactions. This experiment is mentioned by this Spanish pediatrician (Carlos Gonzalez) in two of his books.

I often refer mothers to Dieticians and wonder what kind of reception they will get. Rebecca mentions RAST testing, which identifies 'true' allergic resposes - ie those that are IgE mediated. I have been looking into 'idosyncratic' reactions - those mediated through other pathways, specifically, IgG mediated responses. I would be interested to hear what the dieticians (and others) know about these.
