Hi! So happy to find this board! I have a 6 year old with severe food allergies.
Originally thought she had Celiacs, that is still the diagnosis.
But we have experienced lots of anaphylactic reactions.
So far wheat, oats, dairy incl. eggs, soy, and rice have triggered reactions.
We carry 2 epi pens. Have had lots of people not understanding how serious it is. Family and we did try daycare, they had to call 911 on her first day.
Oh yeah, cats. We had a 911 call two months ago. Turns out cats can cause an anaphylactic reaction. Her mouth was covered in hives, she couldn't breath.
So happy to have moms to talk to here!

It is scary when others who could possibly be care takers of your LO don't take is seriously. My sister, who has a 15 year old with severe peanut allergy, is still educating folks that even dust from a peanut can trigger a deadly reaction to her son. But the good news is that he's done well since being diagnosed as a toddler. I find that encouraging.
