Almost done! This week Beck was upped to 10 peanuts 2x a day. No reactions at initial dose in the office. It took him a long time to eat that many. I have a feeling this week is going to be full of lots of time getting the dose down.
For those of us that have grown up eating nuts, I know what you're thinking. Just take the dang handful and put it in your mouth, chew and swallow! Not that hard.
For some reason...it is not that simple...
He seems to hate the feel of the nuts in his molars so he chews them with his front teeth. This has caused mouth sores to form. He's also got a patch of eczema that is coming on strong. He had severe eczema as a baby, so I am confident this is coming from the peanut dosing. But, we can handle eczema. I'm curious to ask the Dr. next week about it.
