As a precaution, the doctor still ordered a back prick and blood work to see if Dash has any anaphylactic allergies to oats, but at this point it looks like he doesn't.
Dash was a trouper as he got his back pricked and blood drawn. In the end he got a hot wheels car, which kind of helped him forget about crying.
What this means for us is that Dash won't be eating oats until they do a oral food challenge when he turns 3 to see if he's grown out of it. Until then, I'll be compiling a list of all foods that don't obviously contain oats, most of which are cereals. Here's what I've got so far:
- Cheerios
- Lucky Charms
- Fruit Loops
- Apple Jacks
- Anything Quaker brand
