We have graduated to capsules of peanut flour. Calista is now taking 50mg of peanut flour twice a day. She was on a peanut solution that required refrigeration, but the capsules do not require it.
We must open the capsules and mix the peanut flour in juice, Kool Aid, pudding or applesauce. So far, so good. This morning's dose was in Kool Aid. This evening in pudding. I think we are going to stick with the pudding.
It sure looks like a lot of peanut! Thankfully, it doesn't slow her down. I worried that she would be hesitant to take the dose, but no problems yet.
We ran into a boy who had progressed to 1 whole peanut - today was his first day at that level and his mom said it took fifteen minutes to convince him to eat it. We reminded Cal tonight that this is peanut flour (just peanut all ground up), so we are hoping she doesn't hesitate in a few weeks when she reaches the whole peanut stage.
I am still amazed by this treatment and the life-changing results that these patients are having!
