Whenever I tell someone about my son’s allergies (dairy, nuts, legumes, soy, eggs, green pea, and hemp) their first response is usually “So what CAN he eat?” I figured I’d jot down what exactly our son with allergies eats in a day. It seems to be what everyone is most interested in.

Bread maker is fun 🙂 you gave me some great ideas. My boys are peanut/treenut/egg/shellfish allergic. Good luck & thanks for sharing.
Angie,
I really really hope that I can get motivated to use that breadmaker. Maybe because I borrowed it and don't have the instructions I'm hesitant? Step 1 today…download instructions off the internet. Thanks for giving me a little boost! 🙂
Yours is the first blog I have found with an allergy list that comes close to covering my son's. He is also allergic to wheat, sunflower and sesame, but otherwise his list and yours is pretty close. Have you found that your son has outgrown any of his allergies along the way, or that the severity of some have gone down? We are looking at level 5 for all but the soy and wheat, but my son is only 2 years old. Between the age of one and two, some of his numbers went down, but he also picked up some new allergies and a couple of the numbers went up. Also, do you consider coconut a tree nut? I noticed that we don't have an allergy test result for coconut and, since I have zero choices for "milk," I should probably get that test done. Anyway, thanks for the energy and enthusiasm you put into your blog. I have been checking it out all morning!
Hi Susanna,
My son's allergy test results have fluctuated over the years. The only foods he has been able to add back into his diet are oats and coconut. As he has grown older he has developed new allergies (or maybe we discovered them late?). Coconut is tricky because it doesn't seem as though everyone can agree if it is a tree nut or not. I was hesitant to have my son try it but he did and was perfectly fine. I think that most parents of children with multiple food allergies and/or EoE have some level of anxiety when feeding their children new foods. Its a natural emotion to have when something as important as food can have fatal outcomes.
Have you tried Rice Milk Powder by Growing Naturals? I believe it may be safe for your son. http://growingnaturals.com/products/rice-drink/
Thank you for reading. 🙂
Wow! Thanks! I had never heard of that rice milk powder. I can't believe it exists! Thank you so much for the help and for your passion.
