Spryte Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Wheat. Dairy. Tree Nuts. Peanuts. Sesame. Everything raw except apples, strawberries and blueberries. Cats, dogs, horses, every other animal with fur - except cows. Why cows? Every darn tree and grass. Blech. Clearly we are having an allergy day and I am feeling sorry for myself.

MomatHWTK Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We started out with dairy, egg, wheat, barley, peanuts, treenuts, fish, shellfish, soy, dogs, cats, gerbils... pretty much everything furry so far. We may be ok with horses. Rabbits are out. Dogs and cats trigger full anaphylaxis- hate the neighbors' dog that is allowed to roam their front yard and catches us by surprise! Grass, trees, dust... But, Ds outgrew wheat, barley and soy and we may do testing for the other foods at some future date (blood draws really upset him). So there is hope. We did 100% avoidance until his body could recover. The environmentals are still there improved once his system got a break. Take it slow and go into protective shut down mode unitl you can get a grip on it. It is OK to say, "We aren't going there or doing that until we are sure we can do so safely." You learn to say "no" a lot. Sorry. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I am having an allergy day too. I am covered in hives and I dont know what did it this time. I also cannot take anything because I have to drive this afternoon. I feel ya. Allergies SUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Oh and between my son and I (the two allergy people) we are no tree nuts (exception almonds), peanuts, cranberries, poultry, beef, pork, grass pollen, tree pollen, cats, molds, penicillin, steroid cream, and dust. We used to have dairy as well, but it has been downgraded from anaphylaxis to intolerance. Then we have a whole nother list of allergies for my daughter that have to do with skin irritants, soaps, chap stick, detergents, etc etc etc. So I feel for ya, but like pp said, some can be outgrown, and some can at least become less of a problem down the road. I just discovered I can have fish again. That has been huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks, everyone. Just having one if those days. Tried a new supposedly ok product. DS is doing fine but I have the throat tingles. Ugh. My allergies just developed in the last year - egg, spinach and shellfish. Some days I want to just skip food. I hope your hives improve, bluemongoose. Oh! We've had anaphylaxis to cats, too. So bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
