Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Rudayallday: I recently found out that my son is allergic to a list of foods, any good recipe ideas?
Here is his allergy list: egg whites, wheat, soy, corn, cashews, sesame seeds, and maple trees (when in bloom). These items appear to be in just about EVERYTHING.

Consumption of these food are what has given him problems with asthma, eczema, and sinus issues and I am running short on recipe’s. He eats a lot of fruit, vegetables, and meat that has not been cooked in oils that contain corn or soy and not battered in flour. Your suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

avoid processed foods, read labels at least 3 times each, see a nutritionist to ensure his diet is balanced & healthy, keep the modified diet for the entire family to ensure his safety, keep liquid benedryl (always know the current dose) and his epi pen handy at all times, take a CPR class & encourage the same for any person that will care for your son. join a parent resource group -or start one, follow up with the allergist if you have medical questions, and see FAAN.org.

You don’t leave much to work with…
Chicken and mashed potatoes would be a good idea. You can buy ready-to-cook potato puree and chicken breasts fillets – they need the least time to cook.
Another good idea now that winter is ante portas, would be some kind of soup. I would suggest chickpeas soup (you need chickpeas, onion, salt and pepper and some olive oil) or lentice soup (again the same ingredients, but also include 1-2 laurel leafs and some vinegar). They both need about half an hour to make.

Question by Aspiring Crazy Cat Lady: My kitten has bumps on her face, head, neck, behind ears, & front arms that itch & then form scabs. Any ideas?
My kitten is about 6 months old & within the last month or 2 she has broken out in bumps in the aforementioned areas. She scratches until they bleed & then they scab over. I thought a wheat allergy. Her iams kitten food does not have wheat, but her new litter did. We changed the litter, but no change in a week. Probably not that.

It was suggested that it might be a plastic allergy. So, I changed the food bowls to ceramic, but how do you find a cat box that isn’t plastic???? All her toys are mostly plastic. Her food comes in plastic bags.

I have ruled out bugs…I think, as she was treated three weeks ago with Advantage. Also, my other cat has no signs of bugs and was also treated.

I talked to someone at the vet office about running a couple of trials at home before taking her for allergy tests, as the test runs at 0. It’s a lot, so I would like to run trials first. She said it’s okay. If anyone has other ideas, please help.

Sounds similar to what my mum went through with her cat and still does to some extent. Now don’t laugh… he was allergic to fish.. I know a cat that’s allergic to fish… but thats what the tests came back with. He still itches the scent glands on his forehead but they put a cream on to ease it for him.
