What did Dr. Indian say for parents who introduced their children at a young age and they still got the allegy?
This is exactly our case we introduced while my wife was pregnant, shite the Doctors at the time were telling us not to eat peanuts but she did it anyway
We didn’t find out till he was about six months old and had a peanut butter cookie 20 minutes later we were in the ER

Nothing with any kind of nuts. Zapps are out because of peanut oil. It's not like it's one thing. It's a lot.

No one has really answered the question as to why this is more prevalent now? I had never heard of someone with a peanut allergy in my pre-k to high school years from '88 to 2002.

May have been prevalent, just not as much exposure. I’m not sure if there’s enough conclusive data or historical record keeping to really build a solid theory yet.

We didn't cater to the weakest among us then.

Various studies had suggested that early exposure to peanut protein by infants with allergic tendencies could sensitize them and lead to a serious peanut allergy. around 2000, pregnant and nursing women were advised to avoid eating peanuts, especially if allergies ran in the family. And new mothers were told not to give babies peanuts before age 3, when digestive systems are more fully developed.
All this did was screw up a generation of kids
and piss off Napoleon apparently
But since then all of that has changed
Today, the thinking is exactly the opposite. Instead of restricting exposure to peanut protein by unborn or nursing babies, eat away more the better
Go figure.

Saying kids should know what they can and cant eat doesnt work. Hell, I'm a grown arse adult and have nearly killed myself accidentally eating products I didnt realize have peanuts in them. I've even somehow made a PB&J (thought it was the soy butter jar) and fed it to my allergic kid without realizing it. You cant expect kids to be that dilligent
damn
you're really terrible at being allergic to shite

It's crazy how everyone is affected by the bad genes of one or two kids.
Peanut butter sandwiches will cease to exist in the near future. Kids can't have them.
Now I get a note saying no more cashews or pistachios. Neither of which are truly nuts.
What's next no flour bread or no milk?
Crazy. I get some kids can have severe reactions. Then maybe it's those kids who should be restricted.
Sorry George Washington Carver, you're not going to be semi popular every February anymore.
Your post is a great example of the self-centered nature of our society these days.

Stop "feeling" and start thinking. That's why you are wrong as often as you are.

quote:Some parents actually introduce foods to their babies while with a pediatrician or doctor. This is especially true if the parents themselves have food allergies.
In some cases, parents introduced young (around 3-4 months) and the child died.....
My wife is an RN who used to be in allergy and immunology
So I cant wait for Peckers response
This may come as a shock to you, but at some point your child will be exposed to foods that could potentially cause an allergic reaction. Science says that the earlier you expose them to as many foods as possible, the lower the risk of allergies developing. And would you rather your child find out if they're allergic at 5 years old when you're potentially not available to help, or would you prefer to expose them deliberately while being ready to react if an allergic reaction occurs?

I gotta agree with you here. Just because someone claims to have allergy doesn't mean the entire school can't have peanuts. That is a silly expectation.

I am more so arguing agaisnt this when people seem to be broadly throwing this around for all children with allergies
quote:
blamed parents for being overprotective
Saying parents waiting to introduce foods have caused more allergies is accurate. But once has to be careful when they say "the child got the allergy because of overprotective parents"
We introduced our son early, and will do the same for our daugter
That in no way guarantees they wont become allergic or have an instant reaction

I just don't remember food allergies being this big of an issue when I was a kid. I brought PB&J to school all the time and no one cared. We had one kid with a peanut allergy and he just didn't eat peanuts. Problem solved. Why does every kid have to be punished because a few have allergies?

We used to have pickup trucks lined up in the school parking lot with hunting rifles hanging in the back windows, loaded no less. No school shootings.
Children today are weak physically and mentally.

quote:What kind of reactions? Skin rash or something more serious? My son was about the same age when we introduced peanut butter. He would have an almost immediate skin reaction around his lips and chin. I was worried a little, but continued to give him peanut butter in small increments frequently on pediatrician’s recommendation. He’s 16 months and eats peanut butter everyday without any reactions. I truly believe that more peanut allergies exist because at the first sign of symptoms, parents stop feeding their infants anything with peanuts. So, the next time a child accidentally ingests peanuts years later, the body is saying “What the hell is this?! I’m going to release all these histamines and close off your throat!”
She was having reactions at 8 months old, bub. Introducing a child to peanut butter doesn’t guarantee that they won’t have allergies towards them,
