Allergy Information

After 2 emergency room visits and my poor baby’s face swelling up so bad he could not even see, I took Eric into the Allergist to see what was going on. This is the lovely news we got.


Eric has sever allergic reactions to the following items:

PEANUTS

ALL TREE NUTS (Almonds, Brazil nut, Cashews, Hazelnuts, Hickory nuts, Macadamia nuts, Pecans, Pine nuts, Pistachio, Walnut)

ALL SEEDS (Sunflower, Sesame)

SOY (ALL SOY Proteins, Soy Sauce, Soy milk, Tamari, Tempeh, Tofu, Textured Vegetable Protein)

EGGS

It’s amazing how many things have SOY, EGGS or PEANUTS in them, and not to mention every possible packaged item that says processed in or around machines that also process nuts.

We are working on getting him a medical alert bracelet and have to carry an Epi Pen around with us wherever we go.

  2. Yikes! That is scary stuff. Hopefully you wont have to use the epi pin anytime soon. Poor little sugar.
