[Nick n Nate's Mom]

Allergic to any medicines?

Foods?

Have they tried all the 'red flags' foods yet? (peanuts, shrimp, egg, etc.)

Any reactions?

[sunny]

Nada so far

[magoo79]

no allergies that we have found so far and she's tried all the 'red flag' foods. But then again, i was only diagnosed with celiac disease 5 yrs ago, so... who knows.

[LadieBug]

No food allergies, although we had our big peanut scare about a year ago and ended up in the ER. Went for testing and it was just a false alarm thank goodness.
She has tried shrimp, nuts, eggs... All sorts of stuff no problem.
As far as meds, believe it or not she has never been on any meds other than Tylenol, motrin, and benedryl. She has only had prescriptions for an epipen and pink eye ointment.

Nate is allergic to penicillin and eggs in raw form. He seems to do ok with cooked eggs-like in baked goods and breads. Scrambled eggs has him in head to toe hives with lip swelling.

We haven't given him shrimp yet, though I would guess he'd be fine. But he seems a lot more food sensitive than Nick is.

No allergies of any sort yet - And I'm pretty sure she's had most, if not all, the red flag foods. She does have sensitive skin around her mouth, so when sauces [bbq, ketchup, ect..] and cinnamon sit too long, it gets red. But it doesn't bother her and goes away shortly.

[momma2marissa]

Nothing here, except like Em with the sauces (BBQ is the only one I noticed and she's only had it once)

Oh and meds, she only had one dose of antibiotics before, we got it from the ER doc and had a follow up appt the next morning and her ped said she didn't need it.

[Clarissa J]

Egg whites. I have yet to give her shrimp or peanut butter.

[Jenn218]

So far no reactions to any foods and the only medicines she has had are tylenol, benadryl, and motrin.

No major food allergies....sometimes his cheeks get a little red after eating but nothing that I would call a serious allergic reaction. I couldn't tell you the foods that cause his cheeks to get a little red - it never lasts long. He's had all the main food types too.

He IS allergic to penicillin though!

[Chelbell]

No allergies here. We had a really hard time adjusting to milk, but he wasn't allergic. He just got extremely constipated, but he is fine with it now.

I am probably a bit paranoid about this, but after having one child allergic to everything I have been way more leery about what I have offered Archer. For example, milk..... he has had it of course, but we don't give it to him regularly since when we did have it in straight form he seemed to have a sensitivity to it as an infant. He is fine with things like cheese and yogurts though (however so is Perrin to a degree). I figure since he does get some in those forms and is still nursing there is just no reason to push the issue.

He has not, and likely will not for some time have peanuts. That is the one thing our pediatrician ha advised against giving to Perrin even though many of his other food allergies are lessening over time. So better to be safe than sorry, and especially with a very non-verbal child we will avoid it with Archer.

He hasn't had shrimp I don't think (but perhaps), that's just more of a him not wanting to eat it type of thing though. He hasn't taken any medicines yet, but thankfully when Perrin has had to take antibiotics that is one thing he wasn't allergic to so we hope it's the same for Archer.

Dh is only maybe allergic to goat's milk, and I am only allergic to a couple of medications, and we don't know of many allergies in our family so I have no idea why Perrin has so many. Oh I guess Jeff is also allergic to bees, which is why I am REALLY paranoid of them in the warmer months lol.
