Oh, the action around here!
My daughter was diagnosed with the same allergies as your son (in addition to soy and wheat!) at 6 months. She is now almost 5. She eventually grew out of wheat and soy by age 2. Age 1-2 was the hardest because she couldn't gnaw on crackers or bre...
It's true that testing for food allergies is not very accurate, showing some allergies that perhaps your child does not have, or missing some that they may have. The best method is actually an elimination diet if you are unsure of what the allergi...
"Find stuff without the Yuck!" My very dear friends have kids with bad food allergies. They hope this will help other parents out there www.boxbabble.com
One of my sons has peanuts & sesame seed allergy.
Hope this helps.
We had RAST testing done annually - the blood tests - but since those just test for the antibodies, you can show significantly lower levels yet still have allergic reactions. We had skin testing done every 3-4years, and one by one she tested as ha...
Betty,
Try Divvies - they have great products. One of my three sons has nut alergies. I sympathize as your son has so many more foods he needs to avoid.
LOL

Love rice dream - would you mind letting me know if you had your daughter tested annually or more often, and if the doctor used blood tests or just skin tests? I'm wondering if consistent blood testing is better to assess when the allergy is "over...
When my daughter was 18 months old she was postive fo all those allergies, plus soy, corn and wheat. Basically, EVERYTHING! If it was hard, especially at first. But we figured it out.
Rice Dream was a life-saver! Also, I found it helped to look fo...
My son is 15 months. He's had 2 skin tests so far. The first one showed allergy to dairy only. The second test showed a possible allergy to all of the above. Thanks for all of the advice. I hope he grows out of all or at least most of the allergie...
My kids don't have any allergies but since we have attended treenut-free schools, I can speak with some authority on a good peanut butter replacement. Sunflower butter (which we buy at Trader Joes) is really quite tasty and my kids like it- I am a...
It's a challenge but you can do it! I have 3 boys who all have various anaphyllactic allergies, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, dairy and or course, asthma. Food Allergy Network is an awesome resource. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area you'll...
Have you ever heard of Ms. Roben's Allergy Free Grocery store. They have a website that carries a lot of products for people with food allergies. My daughther has food allergies.
My son is allergic to the same, and we have him on Rice Dreams, Vanilla Rice milk. He loves it. He has Eosinophilic Eosophagitis, so we have him on all gluten free as well.
My son has dairy, egg, peanut, treenut, fish, and shell-fish allergies. What are the best food replacement products out there?

- Do you have a Twitter account? What do you tweet about?
I tweet about my fight with breast cancer and becoming a mom for the first time. I have been trying to find more people to follow me so that I can spread awareness:
