Sounds like G is having a rough time of late. Go to a health food shop and get some egg replacer and make him bicuits yourself. The egg replacer is great, can't taste the difference! Othersie send him with some fruit.
Until you can get him tested I'd be really careful as to what you feed him. It's common for kids that are allergic to eggs and nuts to also be allergic to milk. If he has milk regularly then that shouldn't be a problem but egg has many names on ingredients lists so until you get in and have the tests avoid anything processed and packaged. Avoid anything that says 'may contain traces of...' too. If it says it there's a high chance it is in it and a kid that is highly allergic to one of those foods doesn't need to come in contact with a lot to have a reaction.
Once you've had him tested and know exactly what you're dealing with it will be much easier....I promise! :hugs:

We use this too, and its fantastic!:thumbsup:

Poor little G. I know what your going though. Im not much help with snack ideas either, Jake is so fussy and its a real struggle to get him to eat anything:(

Thanks guys :)

Yeah, i was a bit flipant with the whole "may contain" but now we are stearing well clear.

He had a reaction to a fruit bar, which when i looked contained traces of nuts... So they are on the no go too!

Ill go to the health food shop tomorrow, i got some stuff to make my own rice teething bikkies, so hopefully he will like them too.

He is on full cows milk now and doesnt seem to be bothering him... so hope that doesnt change!
