Does Anyone Have a Child with Food Allergies

Both my daughters are a bit lactose intolerant (they {and myself} become extreamly constipated if they have too much cheese or milk), but my youngest is allergic to strawberries. we found out after giving her some strawberry-banana juice and she started getting hives within 5 minutes. my older daughter grew out of her berry allergy (same thing, hives) after a year or two, but i know that it might come back, my husband is severly allergic to strawberries.

Hi C.,
I have a 21 month old daughter and she's allergic to milk, eggs, all tree nuts especially peanuts, and shellfish. Luckily, I know have it all under control and her allergy levels aren't extremely high. Although she's allergic to eggs and milk, she overcome her allergy enough to be able to eat yogurt, cheese, pancakes, etc but she still can't have a glass a milk or eat scrambled eggs. I definitely agree with you about how scary it is to have my daughter go through all of this. Thank goodness her condition has improved tremendously! When I first found out about her allergies she was around 4 months and she was almost allergic to everything! If you need any advice or just need to chit chat let me know...Im available.

Take care and don't worry hopefully his allergies will improve!

my daughter is lactose intorlerent
i breastfed most the time but had clogged milk ducts so tried bottle feeding her a bit and she got so sick turned out shes allergic to milk they switched her to lactaid milk and loctose free formala

also its not a food alergie but she was allergic to most the disposible diapers out there she could only wear certian brands or she broke out real bad with bleeding blisters on her female parts

seems she got that from my mother who is allergic to most sanitary napkins lol

My daughter is alergic to Peaches

my 1 year old daughter is allergic to eggs. she is breastfed and screamed almost every night for her first 5 months no matter what I cut out of my diet. I switched pediatricians and got allergy screening this past month for what I suspected all along. I wish I could go back in time.

Hi C., I have a question for you. How did you come to find out that your son is allergic to peanuts and shellfish? I have a son who will be 3 in February 2007. I don't think my son is allergic to any foods but I hear that allergies to foods can show up later. My son has eaten peanut butter and other foods that have peanuts and he has been fine so far (knock on wood). I haven't given my son shellfish yet. So, I'd like to hear how you discovered that your son was allergic to those foods. The last thing I want is to find out my son is allergic by rushing him to the hospital. Please enlighten me..thanx!

Hi,

I have a 4 y/o son with soy allergies and a 9 y/o son with wheat allergies. I also have a friend with a 9 y/o son with peanut allergies. So I kind of know what you are going through.

Hi,

My son has food allergies but not anaphylatic. check out food allergy kitchen. Where are you located. sometimes there are support groups in the area. Schools should have separate tables for peanut allergy children or a no peanut school.
