Third Double Blind Food Challenge

                                                         
                                           6 milligrams (where I previously reacted)


                                                                   medication


                                                    Empty dose-containers



100 milligrams! (The maximum dose)


Unblinding 





Dr. Nadeau and I after my challenge

During the third food challenge, I made it to 100 milligrams, meaning that I "tested out" of that particular mystery nut. Whatever it was though, wouldn't remain a mystery for long. At the end of the day, we were unblinded. The first challenge had been peanuts (duh), the second was a placebo, and the third was cashew. So that means that only peanut will actually be officially part the study. 

Even though I tested out of cashews, Dr. Nadeau suggested that I be challenged with whole cashews to see if I could eat more than 100 milligrams. I'll be posting pictures of that challenge later this week.
