Thankfully, he can eat baked egg (cakes, pasta etc) but can't eat cooked or raw egg — so that's omelettes and meringues out!! I'm keeping everything crossed that he'll grow out of it, as he gets older.

I do think I was fortunate that L and R were older when their allergies and intolerances surfaced, but it's never easy at any age (I was 35 when I had my first food reaction) I think it's brilliant that the daycare make the food specially for your children though, mine are in primary school over here, nuts are avoided although not 100% guaranteed to be free due to cross contamination, but wheat and gluten are not and so there are only limited meals that R can eat, with most pudding options limited to fruit or yoghurt.<br />Lupin Girl xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097542412290712403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-35150896572195821122015-04-28T19:17:40.695+01:002015-04-28T19:17:40.695+01:00Both of my kids have quite a few allergies and the...Both of my kids have quite a few allergies and they go to daycare. The food is specially made for them, but toddlers snag things off of friends' plates sometimes. When they are sick I have to figure out - are they sick or is it a reaction?

I am lucky that neither of my girls have food allergies (that we know off anyway) but I have a very very small idea of the worry as when my children were babies, there was a possibility they would have but allergies. I'm glad to say they don't so far.<br />Sounds like you handle things well, and hopefully this will rub of onto your children as they grow. <br />#twinklytuesdaysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-8627984906886503592015-04-28T11:22:11.040+01:002015-04-28T11:22:11.040+01:00+AmiRoberts Thank you for stopping by, I truly hop...+AmiRoberts Thank you for stopping by, I truly hope your little ones adventures in weaning continue without any problems, and thank you for your kind words for L<br />Lupin Girl xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097542412290712403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-67929315510589545502015-04-28T10:03:18.576+01:002015-04-28T10:03:18.576+01:00Such a well written, thought challenging post.

I, luckily, don't have much experience of this as my little bubba is only 7 months and so far we have been quite lucky in that Bubba so far hasn't had any problems, but that could all change. I really feel for your daughter and hope that as she grows she surrounds herself with understand friends who can help her if anything should ever happen.<br />Best of luck for the future<br />Ami<br />www.mymummyspam.blogspot.co.uk<br />#twinklytuesday<br />Through Ami's Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230193926105127905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-21717054343164204772015-04-27T16:21:17.045+01:002015-04-27T16:21:17.045+01:00+K'sMum thank you for taking the time out to c...+K'sMum thank you for taking the time out to comment, I am so glad your nephew was ok!<br />Lupin Girl xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097542412290712403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-18216568986965638062015-04-27T15:37:03.570+01:002015-04-27T15:37:03.570+01:00That is pretty scary.

I have a nephew who is allergic to shrimp and there was a time when we were eating out and didn't realize that there was shrimp in one of the food we ordered and his eyes just started to swell. But now, he is very careful already about what he eats. He always asks first if there's shrimp in the food before eating it. #mummymondayK's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434325122323460567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-7915384083958931612015-04-27T15:17:33.687+01:002015-04-27T15:17:33.687+01:00+Mummascribbles Thank you for commenting, that sou...+Mummascribbles Thank you for commenting, that sounds like a contact reaction, glad it cleared up. It is quite scary knowing she is out of your control, but on the other hand I want her to get on with things and enjoy life, I don't want the allergy to control her, yes I will still sit and worry though, as she goes out and about :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097542412290712403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483550605335482487.post-2430609601523019102015-04-27T14:58:36.597+01:002015-04-27T14:58:36.597+01:00This is such a thought provoking and informative p...This is such a thought provoking and informative post. So far we have only had one food reaction from Zach. He was a baby, just weaning and I gave him a rusk. A little while later he slowly started getting a rash. I wasn’t sure to be honest, whether it was the rusk or a viral cold but I always blame the rusk. He isn’t allergic to them but it was the first time he’d had one. It was scary though and so I can’t imagine how scary it must be in real like for you. Like you say, there is only so much control you have as she gets older and you have to hope that you have drilled it into her that she just has to be sensible. I know though, that you will be sat waiting for her whenever she is out with friends. Thanks for sharing your story.Mummascribbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665704224532396592noreply@blogger.com
