I wanted to brag or maybe help someone looking, my boy had allergies to milk, egg and peanuts his whole life, but he’s also been sick constantly. I have been bringing him to the doctor almost monthly hearing that “it’s just a virus” or I’m worrying too much because I’m a first time mom. Well after 8 weeks of my babe being lethargic and sick I gave up and did a blood test out of pocket and learned that his allergies also include wheat, buckwheat, gluten, soy, citrus, bananas, and tree nuts. While this leaves him with a horribly difficult and expensive diet, he’s been incredibly cooperative and I can say that after 48 hours of no gluten he has no more eczema which he’s had since birth, and more energy and focus than I’ve ever seen. 2 weeks in now he has almost 50 words after previously only having 5-10 and he is the great, happy boy that I always knew he could be.

If you know something isn’t right, do not be afraid to look into something yourself!
