I will never complain about my sons allergies again. We had to get his blood tested when he was 14 months old after he puffed up like the the Michelin Man after he spilled my peanut butter on his skin. Thank god it didn't make it into his mouth, because every place it touched puffed up like giant marshmallows. He has the basics and a few others, but geez! Bless you man! OMG!

I wrote an article in my family health column about how fruit and veggie allergies are soaring surpassing peanut allergies... I think you will find it informative.

What an ordeal for the little guy. I can sympathize since I have a 3 and a 4 yr old. We've gone through nothing as extreme as that. I can relate however to the medications. My 3 yr old has reactive airway disease, brought on by environmental allergies. We've had her on albuterol since 10 months... breathing treatments.... singulair... benedryl... it's gotten much better since then. But once winter hits... so do the regular treatments. Anywho... Little Boo will be receiving extra prayers tonight. I shared part of your story with my girls. Whenever I run across a blog with a story of children and circumstances new to us... I share it with them. Thank goodness the fruit allergies are the minor ones. Does that mean he can enjoy fruit now and then? I'm assuming those are the allergies he will most likely grow out of. My 4 yr would would get a bad case of hives (or a swollen rash) when she would eat strawberries between ages 1 and 2... shes's fine with them now (almost 5). My comment is turning into a novel... but I commend you and the mrs. for your commitment to finding the source of your little one's allergies. Way to get thru that Dr. Visit Boo!
