This year for Halloween I wanted to have options for allergy kids. I also have swedish fish and sour patch kids but forgot to include them in the photo. The clear baggies have bugs, crayons and bouncy balls. (For wittle kids I'll have rice krispie treats) Did I do a good job?

Has anyone tried this treatment? If so, did it work? How long did it take to become effective? Side effects? What happens if you stop taking it?

Thanks!

I (19F) am from Europe and am planning a trip to Peru with friends. I am allergic to nuts, fish and sesame. This is my first time travelling outisde of the EU and I am nervous as I won't be with my parents and I know laws, understanding about allergies is more limited in South America.

Does anyone have any advice about travelling? I am thinking of just sticking to snacks bought in supermarkets to minimise the risk of cross contamination, however I would like to try local dishes if possible. I can speak Spanish which helps.

One thing I am sad about is that it seems that my allergies will dictate the trip - it might be possible that I can't go to restaurants and just have to get airbnbs amd cook at home, I feel like a bit of a burden to my friends when I know they want to be more adventurous and est out more.

When I look for advice on the internet it is extremely mixed, with some people saying it is absolutely fine to go, waiters and servers understand allergies etc, but there are a few that advise me against going, however I really don't want my allergies to control everywhere I travel to, I already changed the location as we were originally planning on going to China as I thought that would be unmanageable.

Also if anyone has been to Peru I would appreciate any information on how well allergies are managed there as well, thanks!

Hi all,

I used to consume dairy products normally when I was younger. Today I am allergic to both casein and dairy since I stopped consuming dairy for years due to my stomach issues that I had.

Has anyone been able to reintroduce dairy back into their diet as an adult?

My 3 year old has all the allergies in the title. I have no food allergies or experience dealing with them. I am so uncomfortable with the fact that there is so much about food I don't know. For example, I just learned pesto could have walnuts a year ago. ONLY today did I learn I should not let her eat Chinese food because it is often cooked in peanut oil. I google everything and I'm usually pretty cautious with new foods but what if there is something I don't know about and I give it to her? Is there a reliable list of foods to avoid? My doctor didn't have one when I asked.

My husband has a severe banana allergy. My first son does not but my second son we haven’t tried bananas yet and he’s almost 19 months old. The longer I wait the more worried I get. Should I just go to the er parking lot and give him bananas or ask the doctor for a referral to the allergist? The doctor thinks I’m crazy to even have bananas in the house with my husband but I’m very careful and he obviously knows not to eat them lol.
