Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Ali: Parents who have kids with allergies?
Right now, we have 2 allergies in my house. My daughter is 7 years old has a severe allergy to all types of nuts. I also have a 13 year old allergic to shellfish and a 5 year old who is lactose. My 16 month old was getting hives, so we took her today to get tested for a dairy and eggs allergy.

I’m really stressing now! We have to be nut, shellfish, dairy and now possibly egg free? Any parents have tips?
Hey, what can you do? We eat a lot of soy, but that sometimes get’s expensive.
The lactose issue was very sudden. Out of no where she had tummy aches after she drank dairy products. I put two-and-two together, turns out that was the problem!

Question by ??PinkFuzzySocks34??: How can I convince my parents to let me go to college?
Before you read, I want to let you know that it is not a money issue, nor is it an educational issue. We do have a college fund for me (though it is nearly depleted because of my sister’s needs), and I have a 4.0 GPA.

I have had food allergies since I was born; I’m allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. This allergy is very severe and can be fatal. I can rationalize them not letting me go on class trips, field trips, etc. But now that I am in high school, I can handle my allergies. This has not been a new decision, apparently my parents talked about it even the night they found out about my allergies, when I was 2.

Now that I am about to enter my senior year of high school, I believe that this is the ultimate unfairness. I have tried to haggle and tell them that I will go to a local school about 10 minutes away from our home. They still will not let me go.

My parents are not the type to undermine an education, they want me to get an education, but this is where they draw the line
I know I will be 18 soon, but I still feel that I cannot go without their permission.

Show them the hair on your chest then they will see how you are a man, then they will let you go.

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).

I have a peanut allergy, and sometimes it seems like my parents don’t think its a very big deal. We still have food with peanuts in the house and it makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t even feel safe at home. What should I do?
I’m very allergic.
i think it might also be because i’ve never had a reaction (i’m very careful), so they don’t think it will happen.

I carry my epipen(my medicine) every where with me! I don’t eat foods that i don’t know the ingredients. I am very very careful! But my parents still don’t let me go anywhere by myself even if im with my friends!!! I’m a teenager i should be able to do what i want if im very carefull!!! PLEEZ HELP ME FIND A WAY TO CONVINCE MY PARENTS THAT I CAN BE CAREFUL AND SAFE WITHOUT THEM ALWAYS BEING RIGHT THERE!!!
