We went to Wendy's the other night, and my son (now 13) decided that he wanted to test the Wendy's Honey BBQ Chicken wings. The menu said that they didn't contain any dairy in the batter, however, they were cooked in the same oil as items that contained dairy. Since he tested so low with his most recent allergy test, I felt that it would be a safe for him to try them. About 30 minutes or so after dinner, he broke out in a few hives underneath his arm and on his chest as well as a small eczema rash on his chest. I gave him some Benadryl just in case the reaction spread quickly and sent him to bed. It looks like we need to go back to being 100% strict, at least for now:)
***On a side note, he had a small bite of peanut brittle the other day with no apparent reaction. It had butter as one of the ingredients. (He thought it had no dairy in it.) I'm not sure why he reacts to some things and why other things don't seem to affect him. I just hope that he can figure out how severe his allergy still is before going on to college, etc.***
