Question:
This baby is allergic to peanuts, soybeans and all of the common foods
babies have trouble with.....I'm wracking my brain trying to find
something she can eat.
Things like mustard greens, turnip greens and green beans seem to be
fine.
Are English peas in the same family as peas and butterbeans?
I would also like to hear suggestions on what others fed their allergy
prone babies.
Answer:
Consult with the Kids with Food Allergies group: http://kidswithfoodallergies.org
The mechanism for food allergies is the same as for environmental
allergies: The immune system mistakes something you eat for a dangerous
invader and attacks. In the confusion, the antibodies attack the body,
too. Unlike environmental allergies - pollen, dust and so forth - there's no
cure or even relief for food allergies.
Once you identify something that makes you sick, the remedy is simple:
Don't eat it. "You can't take a pill and then go out and have a shrimp
dinner," said Dr. H. James Wedner, professor of medicine at Washington
University School of Medicine.
