Question by Star: Why are children allergic to everything these days?
Many of us have noted that a high number of individuals, especially children, have life-threatening allergies to allergens such as peanuts, shellfish, soy, pollen, dust, mould, animal dander, etc., the list goes on.

There is a growing epidemic of food and general allergies, which was not evident a few decades ago.

In the 1950s, how common was it to have a life-threatening allergy in which case one would go into anaphylactic shock from just looking at a peanut?

These days, we have banned peanut product from schools, asthma inhalers are the latest fashion accessories, and something as simple as smelling the flowers on a beautiful spring day sends one into a hacking, sneezing mess completed with watery eyes and gargled gasps for air.

Snuggle up next to your pet cat or dog, and your tongue swells up to the size of Texas, coupled with lovely red nickel-sized hives that is now spreading all over your arms and legs. Fido means death! Or just a very unpleasant and embarrassing visit to the ER, where old ladies gasp and little kids cry at the very sight of your bloated, ruddy self rushing into the waiting room with your hands around your throat, wheezing out unintelligeble pleas between asphyxiated gasps.

Is it a matter of compromised immunity thanks to our fanatical whip-out-the-hand-sanitizer- every-time-you-touch-a-doorknob ideals that is ever-so-present in today’s society? Are genetics at play? What are your thoughts on this phenemonen?

Answer by Be Just and Fear Not
I’ve read that it’s vitamin deficiency (zinc, A and D) and over-exposure to certain substances in the junk food that kids eat. Also, talk to anyone who knows a lot about hazardous materials and he will tell you that a lot of the chemicals that we use every day were not around in the 1950s and earlier. Antibiotics in the water supply may also have a significant role.

Question by mom: Parents who have children with wheat allergies?
Our 9-month-old son has had two life threatening allergic reactions, the latest one being yesterday. We are waiting on a childhood allergy profile to come back, but we are afraid it might be wheat. What can you tell me (anything will help) about this? What the heck can I feed him if that’s what it is? The reactions have been so severe emergency care and timing were critical. We almost lost him the first time it happened (about a month ago).

Question by L & J’s ILF’N WARRIOR: Does anyone have two children with food allergies?
My eldest is allergic to nuts (all nuts) and shellfish, still. She had been allergic to milk, soy, beef, nuts, shellfish, eggwhites. Most of which have resolved with age. She is now 4. My baby is nearing 5 months and I will start to feed her solids at 6 months, as I did with my first (alot of good that did to prevent allergies!!)…but I am already very nervous. Has anyone else had this experience with 2 allergic children? What do you suggest to introduce to her first (food-wise)?

Best answer:

Answer by Millie C
I have friends who have kids that have food allergies…bad like your kids do. They just had a baby. Right now the baby is just breastfed, but the only way to know for sure is to get tested when they’re old enough or when you start feeding them, they get a reaction.

I’m worried too because my second husband is Vietnamese and all his friends who are also all have kids or family members with food allergies.
