LO is allergic to eggs (more specifically, egg whites). We found out when I gave him a very small piece of my scrambled egg just before he turned 1. He started to become really irritable and then broke out in hives all over his face. We took him to the ER because we were nervous about it getting worse and affecting his breathing, but it ended up being a very expensive shot of Benadryl.

He's seen an allergist and he's hopeful that he grows out of it. For now, he has an epipen and we do blood work every year to see if it's getting any better.

Dd1 is allergic to walnuts. Her tongue and lips swell. It hasnt affected her breathing though. The few times that she had walnuts (accidentally) she tries to wipe her tongue and starts crying that its too spicy. She normally likes spicy foods so i am certain it is a very unpleasant feeling

She was dairy/soy intolerant (complete feeding refusal presumably due to stomach pain). We are doing trials now but seems like dairy gives her eczema, even if she has tiny bits if it. Not sure if she can't have soy still, that is next. Also avocado gives her a rash.
