Question by skbonnevie: For any of you parents that have a child with food allergies, do you remove all food allergens from the home?
Our 18 mo. old has recently been diagnosed as having a severe milk allergy, and she also has allergies to eggs and peanuts as well – perhaps not quite as severe as the milk allergy.

For other parents/families struggling with the same issue – do you try to “coexist” with food allergens in your house? Or do you completely remove them from the house? There are 3 of us with no food allergies at all, but is it just the safer/better option to competely get the allergens out of the house?

For those of you who keep the allergens in the house – are there any tricks for doing this safely?

Answer by desmeran (emeritus)
we completely removed them from the house. we were concerned not only about the allergic kids accidentally getting into the food or a clueless babysitter or someone serving it to them, but also about getting crumbs/traces on our hands or on the table or counter and cross-contaminating other foods.

*if you do keep them in the house, i’d have a dedicated shelf of safe foods in the pantry and refrigerator for the child with the allergy, and i’d also get in the habit of washing counters and tables every single time before you eat, and having everyone wash hands immediately after eating (as well as before, especially for the child with the allergy). zorro, thumbs down not from me but i’m tempted. you don’t learn to live with anaphylaxis … you can merely stay as far away as possible from the things that trigger it. one crumb can do it, and siblings make a lot of crumbs.

Question by Mama J.: Allergies but negative skin test X 2?
My daughter who is now eight was diagnosed as an infant with a milk protein allergy. Any milk ingredients or products make her break out in hives, a red face, runny nose, watery eyes, cold symptoms, a cough, an upset stomach, diarrhea, etc. Sometimes she has a combination of the symptoms and sometimes only one or two. Lactic acid gets her the most.

She went for a skin test and it came up negative. So her pediatrician suggested that we take her to Boston Children’s Hospital to see an allergist. She also did a skin test. In both tests the hystamine control site did not bubble for some reason. In the second test the same thing happened, but the saline that was not supposed to bubble did. Could she be allergic even if it does not show up on the test?
She was off of all Benedryl and other meds for three weeks before her tests.

Best answer:

Answer by wait and see
**Before addt’l info**
Did you keep her off her anti-histamine meds for a couple of days before the test?
If you didn’t; that’s the only reason I would think you wouldn’t have a control reaction.
****************************************************************
After you additional info…
Did she take any antacid meds, any green tea or other thing that was herbal?
If the histamine control didn’t work than all the results are not conclusive. Get back with the Allergist explain that you are concerned since the control didn’t react and now you don’t have any real results. Maybe they can help you identify what your daughter may have messed up the results.
Good luck.

Take her to a different doctor if you think her doctor is wrong. Get a second opinion! When my daughter had a milk allergery, she had blood in her poo – otherwise was fine and happy.
