Garlic Trial

Yesterday was day 1 of our garlic trial. At lunch time I gave him a pea size drop of ketchup with his hot dog. He really like it! He asked for more, but I told him that the doctor said he can have more next time if he doesn't get itchy. He accepted that response (I love how excepting he is of his allergies).

He made sure that he ate up all the ketchup. He swirled around his hot dogs in it and used his finger to make sure he got everything.

No problems. No itching. No redness.

At dinner time I gave him a dime size of ketchup. No problems. No itching. No redness.

The following morning he woke up with a tennis ball size rash on his neck that was itchy and red. He has had eczema, but this is a new spot. I put on some ointment. And he is doing fine. I will try more ketchup at lunch.
