My Boy is Allergic to Peanuts and Milk
 

Lard.

I wish the best for him and you.

Peanut allergies seem to be nasty.

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif You might want to talk to a nutritionist about the kid, mate. I hope you can get hte needed help and give him the sustinence he needs.

Poor guy, never getting to try out chocolate...

He may outgrow it... but I'm not getting his hopes up.

He's been drinking milk but depending on how much he gets the runs. Cheese, however, gives him hives.

Yeah, hopefully he will outgrow it or at least to where it's only a minimal problem.

I'd read that peanut reactions were way up these days. I don't remember hearing why, though.

You're not talking about human milk, are you?

I was allergic to milk when I was a kid. Still am, but it only seems to affect me at random times.

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif ACK!

Milk allergies are often temporary in infants. My second kid was left lactose-intolerant after a virus when 10 months old- we just had her on soy milk for 6 months, and were then able to reintroduce milk again with no problems after that.

Well, I don't know if it's available in your neighborhood, but there is such a thing as almond butter. I've had it (also allergic to peanuts, albeit mildly), and it's okay on sandwiches.

Nutella is better if you eat it

i heard that sarcasm was like the 3rd step in becoming a serial killer

This is one of those things that you read and forget where you read it, but I seem to remember something about overcoming peanut allergies by slowly incrementing a teeny tiny amount.

I'm not allergic to peanuts - used to love them when I was a kid, but I have nasty reactions to other nuts so I avoid them altogether now. I'm ok with "made in a factory that uses nuts", but tend to steer clear of "contains actual nuts". Hang on, why am I responding to Oerdin's post - definite nut content there. (Sorry for that **** joke :whattheforkhappenedtothathityourselfontheheadwith ahammersmiley?:)

I worked in a French hotel over the summer at university, afin d'ameliorer mon argot, et tout ca, and licked my finger accidentally after picking up an ice cream glass to wash it. My eyelid swelled up, and I couldn't work for the rest of the night. Bonus! Or not... Stupid creme de noisette! Stupid me! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif

[edit]Apologies for no accents, mais je n'ai plus envie a utiliser les chiffres a ameliorer mon francais, and also why does it automatically stick a space in if you type too many characters all together? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/doitnow.gif[/edit]

Don't speak foreign at me sonny...

Wouldn't know. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/cool.gif

Good luck... Just keep pushing the doctors. And if they can't figure it out, try some new doctors. Our daughter had some serious digestive problems, and the doctors were clueless. We finally found some doctors in Indianapolis who had experience in this area, and performed tests that other doctors wouldn't have considered. They found the problem and thanks to some medication, my daughter is doing much better.

So if the tests come back negative, and they still don't have a clue... keep pressing them.

I was reading an article the other day which said up 1/3 of all the claimed peanut allergies were bullshit. A competing view was that they were real but caused by the fact that so many parents no avoid feeding kids anything with nuts in them thus causing the kids' immune systems to miscalibrate much like having too clean a house or never going outside while young causes other allergies. Either way it's odd that peanut allergies have gone up 300%-400% since the 1960's even controlling for population growth or improved testing.
