Congratulations!

Wow my kids have similar things. My son Aiden didn't start showing till he was three. The pictures I posted of him was of his very first reaction with the cashew. He was tested for tree nuts, failed that test. Allergic to grass,dust, feathers, roaches(surprised with this on the list), and dogs. He has more testing in July. He was just diagnosed with Autism also this year. My daughter has severe asthma, severe eczema (somewhat growing out of it 10 yrs old) and allergy to cats and dust. I have a 7 yr old son with Spina Bifida with no food allergies just seasonal. I have a 2 yr old son who had RSV and so far no allergies. I have turned to online communities for support and they have helped a lot!

Thanks!  My son was allergic to eggs, too, but he passed his egg challenge last year, which has made life easier.  My youngest has the most severe allergies, and his showed up when he was 11 months old, got into some peanut butter, and ended up in the ER!  He also had RSV, asthma, and eczema since he was 4 months old.  All four of my kids were adopted and aren't biologically related, but they all have allergies!

When did your son start showing signs?

Cute picture!

My son has the same allergies too except for eggs. He has a few other allergies too such as feathers.. more testing to do. What age did your boys start showing signs?
