Not sure: Open food challenges to a food that was once a problem, but might not be a problem anymore is very common. Most children will outgrow milk, egg, wheat, soy allergy. The challenge (eating the food again) is usually performed when the chances are very good that the allergy has resolved based on skin tests, blood tests, etc. These challenges are usually performed in the allergists office.
