We had a similar beginning with my daughter when she was a baby (bleeding eczema, hives, vomiting). SO SCARY. After much frustration with traditional medicine we treated her allergies with something called NAET (http://www.naet.com/) Here are some links which also have information/explanation from a Christian perspective for those concerned with some of the spiritual aspects of some western medicine. (http://www.fitnessforoneandall.com/difficulties/article/naet/intro.htm) His explanation and opinion of the treatment was reassuring. I didn’t want to pursue anything new-agey or pagan. We haven’t found this to be the case with our practitioner. One treatment per allergy item and we haven’t had her have a reaction since!! I know I sound like an infomercial but we were so relived to finally find something that worked and was a permanent solution without elimination diets!

I just hopped over here from your link on Menu Plan Monday today to read your son’s story. It all sounds SO familiar! When me son was a few months old, he had weeping ezcema all over his face, head, and legs, in addition to hives and all that other stuff. It took us a while to figure out that is was food allergies, and just like you, we went through several different formulas trying to find one that worked. My son (now 2 1/2) outgrew his dairy allergy, but we’re still avoiding eggs.

I agree 100% with your mention of the Kids With Food Allergies website. The forums and recipes there are amazing, and worth every single penny (I think there is an annual membership fee of $25). I knew no one else in person that was dealing with food allergies, and I spent LOTS of time there reading, learning, and discussing with other moms. A fantastic resource!!

Hi,

I am 28 years old and until last year I didn’t have any allergy problems. All of the sudden I had a food allergy and I was rushed to the hospital with huge hives all over my body. I thought, back then, that this is just a minor incident and it is nothing important. Then 2 months later I had another allergy, this time the hives were even bigger. In 2 months I think I had 4-5 allergies and I remember one of them was really severe as my tongue was starting to swollen.
I have been to an allergist doctor and he ran the basic tests,and it turned out to be that I am allergic to shrimp, crap and dust. Now the thing is that I have never eaten seafood the day I got the allergies.

I do not know what to do since I have been advised to be very careful of what I eat. I made a list with all the food I had every time I had an allergy and it seems nothing matches, every time I had different food.

Recently I have been advised to try a natural medicine called Quarcetin.
I don’t know how to stop the allergies and it is really stressful that the doctors can’t give me a better answer other than be careful what I eat.

If someone could please give me an advice, I will appreciate that.

Thank you,
A

Great post Laura. I remember being so overwhelmed when my oldest was diagnosed and she is “only” allergic to dairy. All we can do is the best we can to avoid mistakes and teach others about food allergies so maybe it will be a little easier for someone else.

we also deal with food allergies – not in the immediate family — but with my BIL and niece (he had a peanut allergy that doesn’t go away with age and she is still to young for conclusive tests) I have also dealt with it in the classroom as a teacher. It is tough issue and you must be hypervigulant
