Outgrown Egg Allergy- Watch This Powerful Video Of Her Eating Eggs For The 1st Time!

 
 
 
Disclaimer:  Do NOT try this at home.  My child's doctor approved us to feed her eggs at home based on her allergy tests.  Feeding your child something they may be allergic to can cause serious reactions or even death.  Always speak to your doctor before doing anything like this.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I am so happy to announce that my daughter has OUTGROWN HER EGG ALLERGY!  The journey that led us to the moment that you see in the video was a long one.  She tested positive to an egg allergy at 2 years old, started to show signs that it was going away at 5 years old, started eating eggs in baked goods at 6 years old, and now can eat them at 8 years old. 

Note:  Some of the stuff I tell her during the video is just to ease her fears and may not be purely factual.  We sat there for about half an hour before the video started rolling.  She was very scared, even starting to cry at one point.  This is what children with food allergies go through every day, living in a world where everything is about food, and fearing the very thing that gives humans life.  I share this because its real.  It shows the struggle.  It shows the fear.  It shows how strong kids with food allergies are.  Imagine eating something, for the first time, that you were told could kill you......... 

I hope this will motivate people to spread awareness of the huge, growing food allergy epidemic.  We need to keep fighting to find a cause and then a cure!
