Blog Post CommentNot in this family. My daughter has food allergies, asthma and eczema and I do not. Her father does have a history. I'd be interested in a study of blood type as it relates to familial food allergies, asthma and eczema.

Blog Post CommentI think we've learned no one study will ever explain everything....My DS had antibiotics the first two weeks of life, his father had a milk allergy as an infant, and much later I found out his uncle had soy and wheat, and EVEN LATER (like last year) I found out my ex-father in law also had a milk allergy as a baby and was failure to thrive.I think even if I lived on a farm and let him roll in the mud with the pigs, that combo would have been hard to overcome!

Blog Post Comment❤️This is a happy new year gift, indeed! Thank you for sharing this great news. For the military mention, I often wonder whether my child's mustard allergy is related to the mustard gas my father was exposed to in Vietnam (Agent Orange exfoliant). I am hopeful some smart researcher takes an interest in toxicological impacts of the chemical exposures our military heroes get exposed to. Along with whether the exposures relate to food allergies in either them, their children and grandchildren. Or...

Blog Post Comment❤️Constance, I never realized how much American culture centers socialization on food until I had a child with severe peanut and tree nut allergies.

When we entertain and decide to include food, we provide all food and...

Blog Post Comment❤️Originally Posted by Dana CLU: I have sat in a kitchen where my own father opened a jar of peanut butter, and I found this to be a teachable moment for my child since my dad represented someone who forgets, is ignorant, or simply doesn't care. I find that when people do not respond favorably, I compare my daughter's allergies to a bee sting allergy. I tell people that they wouldn't dream of placing a bee's nest next to a child with a severe bee sting allergy, so I ask them why they think it...

Blog Post Comment❤️My son has been prescribed to take antihistamines on a daily basis because he has ideopathic anaphylaxis. I give him Zyrtec and Allegra daily, and from what I have read, this is the protocol for a person who has ideopathic anaphylaxis. I was guilty of doing the same thing before we actually knew he was having anaphylactic reactions though. What has complicated things for us, is that I share 50/50 custody of my son with my ex-husband, who was not on board with giving our son these daily...
