I feel like I'm on my own for those that aren't anaphylactic. I. E. The allergist says his eczema is just eczema and maybe related to our dog. I feel like I see improvement with avoiding certain foods but I don't like being on my own figuring out the elimination diet. Do your drs help with this?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069662 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 09:08:34 +0000 yin 2069662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 usually breaks out in hives around his mouth when he has an allergic reaction to eggs and diary. He goes into anaphylactic shock when he eat peanuts (coughing, difficulty breathing, drooling, throws up, breaks out in hives, etc). If he has too much red dye he will throw it up as well. </p> <p>We're still trying to figure out LO2's reactions to his food allergies (the list continues to grow). So far we have experiences breaking out in hives due to skin contact, throwing up, swelling, and hives all over his body from eating an allergic food. His reaction time varies from immediate to 24 hours later. </p> <p>Both kids also have ezcema. At around 3 months old their skin got progressively worse. I suspected food allergies and eliminated foods from my diet. Their skin improved afterwards. Both kids had blood work done to test for allergies and later a skin prick test done as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069534 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 00:58:56 +0000 808love 2069534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Threw up within an hour. Next time itchy upper lip. Sometimes they can be not allergic than a few months later become allergic so you can't rule out stuff that they were previously ok with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069477 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:03:04 +0000 Corduroy 2069477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We knew LO reacted to egg because of a rash at first introduction (and a few times since). She also had terrible eczema most of the time I BF. I suspected she was allergic to something but I only eliminated allergens a week at a time and I think she needed longer.</p> <p>LO has reacted to shrimp/shellfish three times now with a rash &amp; last time with a 'nose' complaint. She didn't react the first four or five times she had shrimp so we thought it was something else like MSG or hidden egg. Eventually I caught on that it was the shrimp and not some big mystery ingredient. We haven't been to see an allergist yet because LO gets a cold every time I make an appointment. I've been meaning to since October. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069438 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:08:29 +0000 wheres_c 2069438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a blood draw when we suspected allergies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069429 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:04:36 +0000 jedeve 2069429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nut allergies were due to hives. </p> <p>Dairy allergy took forever to get diagnosed (6 mo) because he would eat dairy every day, but wouldn't throw up every day. And he would throw up after meals without dairy. We cut it out and the vomitting stopped after a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069423 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:52:37 +0000 charlotte 2069423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had immediate hives covering his back and throat within 5 minutes of eating PB. We went to the allergist and they did a skin field test with all the common allergens and all individual nuts. Peanut and almond came up positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069413 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:47:16 +0000 erinpye 2069413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We suspect eggs for our 1 year old because of eczema. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069411 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:45:46 +0000 regberadaisy 2069411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you asked yet what he had for lunch both days? Perhaps start with the common food items and work through process of elimination? </p> <p>Poor little guy! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069406 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:43:50 +0000 MrsRcCar 2069406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N breaks out in hives to a food yet to be determined. We meeting with the allergist at the end of the month. Throwing up after meals can be a huge flag for food allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-a-food-allergy#post-2069393 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:33:43 +0000 matador84 2069393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you know/did they get diagnosed?</p> <p>This is the second week in a room DS has thrown up right in the middle of lunch at daycare. The first time we thought stomach bug, but now we are thinking possible food allergy, but can't pinpoint one particular item of food. </p>
