Allergic Reaction to Foods

Wife has food allergies and a latex allergy Can eat most of the foods from the nightshade family.

Can’t eat eggplant or any kind of pepper (bell, banana, jalapeño, chili, etc)

Worst part is paprika is used as a coloring agent and is derived from red pepper seeds. So we can’t eat out unless she can talk to the chief before hand.

So was reading an article about a man that died after eating a chicken burger that had been dipped into buttermilk.Here's the link LINK. The story states 8% of children in this country now having allergies. Is this a thing that has taken off in the last 20 to 30 years? Is it that we are more body conscious these days or is it that childrens genetics are being altered somehow ? Seems like this number is getting bigger every decade. Are any of the OT allergic to any types of foods? Still blows my mind people can die eating a burger/peanut or getting stung by a bee.

You can thank vaccines for all these allergic reactions.

What? We aren’t talking about an upset stomach here.

I developed a shellfish allergy about 5 years ago. I grew up in Nola and my favorite foods have always been shrimp & crawfish. It hasn’t become life threatening yet but I get hives all over my face and neck whenever I decide to eat shellfish anyway. It sucks.

I think its odd people can become allergic to something later in life, or lose an allergy they had earlier in life.

Have a friend who use to be lactose intolerant growing up and now it's not an issue at all for him.

Both my kids unfortunately have bad dairy and egg allergies. I'm really hoping they grow out of it, because it's such a pain to avoid those two things. I've got a severe peanut allergy, so maybe it's genetic. IDK.

While I dont expect everyone to accommodate for us, I'm totally ok with schools banning peanut products. Small kids just dont know what they can and can't eat and kids share stuff constantly. I came really close to dying one time from a peanut reaction, so if that happened to my kid because some other parent didnt want to be inconvenienced by their kid not eating peanut butter, I'd be raging

Had this same discussion yesterday with my father. Peanuts, gluten, shellfish, dairy....all sorts of shite I never experienced with any of my friends as a kid. And we ate like shite.

Was the only food allergy I had ever heard of when I was growing up.

I suspect the rise in allergies has to do with the more indoor upbringing of kids these days leading to a lack of exposure to allergens at earlier ages.

You’re going to feel like shite when your kid inadvertently kills some kid.
