re: Kids and Food Allergies...

Did they have a fever prior to this? I also second the elimination diet. Have you changed anything like soaps, detergents, etc lately? Why are you sure that it's food related?

I will have one in about a month

grand son i also allergic to dog saliva , i a dog licks him he swells up like a balloon

It’s all of this processed food we eat. Something that looks so simple, look at the back of the label, and there are chemicals and ingredients that I can’t even pronounce.

Did he eat anything new or different? Did y’all eat out? Any new spices y’all used in cooking??

I’m sorry to hear about this. As a father of two, I know there’s nothing worse than watching them suffer. I’d rather take a condition on myself than see them go through it. I hope things get better, soon!

Yep oldest two boys developed peanut, tree nut and shellfish out of nowhere. Shut sucks

yes, we started this yesterday

He hasn't been sick recently. Honestly this just came out of nowhere. It's scary as hell. I am thinking it's some kind of virus or something, but I am not doctor. He's 12 and has never had any issues like this. He just breaks out in massive hives over the last 2 days any time he eats.

How long after he eats?

Like madam says, I’d start him on the elimination diet and keep a journal of what he reacts to. Rice, unseasoned chicken, keep it bland too. That should cover you until he gets into a doctor.

Right now all eggs or egg products are a no-go. We have to clear everything from having egg protein.

They think he will grown out of it. Been a few months since we have given him egg.

We go to allergist in March where we'll do a monitored thing. We went did a test for egg allergen and it popped positive.

My kid is being deprived of my love for baked goods like donuts.

Most likely will outgrow the eggs. It's a complete bitch trying to avoid everything its in though while they can't have it.

Our Son, at 1, was given eggs and strawberries for first time while I was out of state. Wound up in ER and given epi. found out like you did he was allergic to eggs and peanuts through testing. Avoided all eggs and peanuts, he even knew very young to ask, lol.

They told us would likely outgrow eggs, did that by second yearly check-up. Told us only 15% outgrow peanut, but his reaction to testing kept dropping, so they did the challenge and the boy can have Reese's cups and uncrustables now.
