I just came across a website listing all the foods my child should not eat now that we know he has an egg allergy. Here's the list:
- baked goods - breads and rolls, pancakes, cakes, cookies, cream-filled pies, meringue, French toast, waffles, doughnuts, muffins, crackers, pretzels, baking mixes, and dessert powders; the shiny yellow glaze effect on many baked goods is achieved by using eggs or egg products
- beverages - eggnog, beer, root beer, Orange Julius, Ovaltine, wine, coffee, latte
- breaded or batter-fried foods - breaded meats (such as chicken nuggets), meatballs, meatloaf, sausage
- commercial egg substitutes - many of which are made with egg whites
- desserts - chocolate candies filled with cream fillings, marshmallow candy, fudge, icing, custard, pudding, ice cream, sherbet, gelatin desserts
- pasta - egg noodles, vermicelli, macaroni, spaghetti
- salad dressings and sauces - béarnaise sauce, hollandaise sauce, Newburg sauce, Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, cream sauces, tartar sauce
- soups - clear soups and broth, noodle soups, consommé, Chinese egg-drop soup
Thankfully Punkin has decided bananas are his new best friend. Whereas before I couldn't get him to eat them unless they were artfully disguised as mush in yogurt, he now eats bananas by the 2 inch chunk. He has singlehandedly consumed an entire bunch of bananas in under a week. He also grips things with his toes and swings from the banister by his tail while simultaneously screeching and itching his armpits. OOOOH OOOH. ooh ooh ooooooh.
