Recommendations for Allergist

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good allergist around Dublin? When my son was a week old, we discovered he had a dairy and soy intollerances. I am breastfeeding, so I eliminated those from my diet. Now that I'm aware of the various symptoms of food allergies, I believe that he and I both have several food allergies. I want to find a good allergist that can help me identify what I have issues with in the hopes that I can eliminate those items (and help my son as well).

Allergic to Cats

We just got confirmation that my step daughter is allergic to cats and my step daughter's mom wants us to get rid of our two cats now. Our cats are three years old and we have had them since they were kittens. My step daughter has had some issues in the past.. we noticed that if she sat there and cuddled with them she would come up with a rash. When we noticed that happening we told her that she can't cuddle with them anymore. Other then that she is fine, she sneezes sometimes but we all sneeze sometimes. So it seems like just them...

Peanut and Egg Allergy

Hi moms, I wrote a little bit ago for help with cutting dairy out of my diet (as a potential cause of my daughter's allergies) so I could continue to nurse my 10 month old twins. All the advice was soooo helpful. In the end cutting out dairy did nothing, in fact she got worse, and when I went back on it there were no changes. I have been feeling like my daughter's doc isn't taking this issue seriously, and when I wanted to test her for allergies he wanted to try more stuff and check in a couple weeks. I can't wait weeks when each day the...

Another Ear Infection: 3Rd Set of Tubes or Steroids???

Its eartube decision time - again. My son has another ear infection (I think) just three weeks after his last one. He is 2.75 and has been suffering from frequent ear infections since his 1st birthday. He got his first set of tubes at 18 months, they worked for 9 months with no infections, and then he blew one and then the other out in the spring. His ENT took the watchful waiting approach, but with 5 infections in four months we put in new tubes. He has had infections in both ears since the tubes (in July), and then three weeks ago...

Any Mom's Out There with Babies That Have a Milk or Wheat Allergy?

I would like to know how you knew, what were the symptoms and what tests were done. I suspect one of my twins might have an allergy to one or both so I set up an appt with her pediatrician next week. She mentioned running some tests. I guess I'll find out soon enough but curious about how you knew it was an allergy and what sort of tests were done. My little one is only 8 months old and started getting eczema patches on her face around 2 months ago when we started solids, particularly oatmeal. Also due to a medical condition I was diagnosed...

Allergic Reaction to Amoxicillan

My daughter had an ear infection and the doctor put her on amoxicillan. I started giving it to her last Sat. and then thurs. afternoon I had realized she had thrown-up and also had red bumps on her stomach and back. I just thought it was from her eating too much the night before and having the ear infection. But now it spread all over her body. Could this be an allergice reaction to the amoxicillan? Has anyone else had this happen to their child? I will be calling the doctor on Monday for sure if the bumps are still there. It's just that...

Rash or Some Kind of Insect Bite?

I am coming once again with a question pertaining to my 14-month-old-daughter. I noticed the other day she had what appeared to be an insect bite on her leg. When she got up the next morning, it had turned into what appeared to be some kind of bright red rash with small raised bumps. I called the doctor and took her in. The doctor said it looked like some kind of exzyma-type reaction rash, I guess because it was right at her diaper line. She said that something may be irritating her. She gave us a prescription for hydrocortisone cream...

My Son Won't Take Medicine. Help!

He used to take it fine. In fact, he used to LOOOOVE the gross liquid vitamin. But the last 3 times I've tried to give him medicine (tylenol for a high fever twice, and now abx for an ear infection) he's been horrible. He gags so hard that he throws it up. I tried hiding it in yogurt (which he threw up) and pudding. I even tried chooclate milk (which I know you're techinically not supposed to do, but I was desperate). It's like he has some kind of sixth sense about it because it's not like I told him it was there. What kid doesn...
