Both my kids have food allergies. One is peanuts, tree nuts, and raw egg (didnt realize how much stuff had THAT in it), my 2 year old daughter is allergic to sesame. No idea where it came from. Neither of us had food allergies. We live like we were raised. I feel bad because I have a cousin that has had a peanut allergy for years before we learned my son did, and I would joke about it some. Now that I have a kid I see how serious it is. My boy broke out in hives one night, no idea why. We finally traced it down to icecream we ate at Moms house. Called the manufacturer and found out all their flavors are boxed on the same line. So they must have ran peanut butter icecream before running our flavor through. How much peanut possibly could have gotten into our icecream?? Cant be much. So then I think, what if ever got a lick of peanut butter? My wife takes the majority of the burden and worry. It's always in the back of her mind. She's terrified for him starting school next year.

My daughter is part of a study at Johns Hopkins. Their theory now is exposure to the allergien is good, and early exposure is better. Since her older brother has peanut allergies she is at an increased risk to develop it. So from 4 months old she's been eating x amount of peanut powder a week, and they check her blood periodically to see her allergy levels. Her blood shows she is allergic but so far she has no symptoms so that's encouraging. Hopkins also got both kids out of a dairy allergy. Both would turn red anywhere milk touched. Even if something had dairy cooked into it. Hopkins gave us a schedule to follow, starting with so many oz of baked milk per week, then stovetop cooked milk products, then cheeses, ect.. Now both can eat any milk product no trouble. We're going to see a dr soon that does the same type of thing for nut allergies. His theory is that it's your body's immune system wired wrong. He starts you off on foods similar to what you're allergic to and builds from there. We've heard good things so we're hopeful.

The only thing I dont understand about the early exposure is better theory, is I thought that we did that with my son. My wife ate peanuts and mixed nuts while pregnant and breast feeding. Then it's a few months of baby food, they eat what you can get in them. Once he started eating real food is when we started seeing allergies so I do t know what we could have changed.
