Today's dose was upped to 250mg of peanut flour.
This is the equivalent to 1/2 a peanut.
Let me repeat that...
HALF A PEANUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updose #10
There seem to be actual peanut chunks in this batch!
175 mg peanut flour is our dose this week.
This morning on the drive home from the updose he got a really upset stomach, and started like sweating it was so intense. I watched him for other reactions, which didn't ever seem to materialize. I was hopeful that he hadn't had enough breakfast before the dose...
Tonights dose he didn't have any problems.

Updose #9
Upped to 100 mg peanut flour!
No major reactions.
To clarify about the peanut flour, I asked the nurse and she said they assume a peanut is 250mg. But, peanut flour is somehow a little different, so we will reach 500 mg in peanut flour before we move over to 1 actual peanut. So, he's probably consuming somewhere between 1/5 and 1/4 of a peanut at this point.

Updose #8
PEANUT FLOUR!
Today now that the vacation is over, we were moved up to peanut flour capsules. All went well with today's dose. I'm not exactly sure how much we are getting per dose. The bag says 50 mg on it, but I don't think that's per capsule, because that would equate to 1/4 of a peanut. So, perhaps it's 50mg peanut flour, which I don't know how much peanut flour equals 1 peanut. I will try to find out what the equivalent dose is.
Here's what this week's capsules look like:
The capsule splits into 2 pieces. You're not to swallow these capsules whole, I don't think the plastic pill would dissolve well in ones stomach. :) It is interesting how it kind of compacts in one end.
Basically, you carefully pull apart the two ends, and shake out the peanut flour into a semi-solid food such as pudding, apple sauce or yogurt. You can pinch the ends and use a toothpick to get all the flour out of the pill. Then, mix it up in your food of choice, and consume it all.
Like always, swish and swallow after any dose to be sure no residue is lingering in the mouth. They want it all consumed at the same time.
