What I Wish You Knew About My Food Allergies

[freshpinescents]

Food allergies are caused by proteins. You can't be allergic to things like celery.

I was allergic to eggs. I got teased a lot when I was in grade 5 and still do in grade 6 ( you would think they'd be more mature, gess not) but I have grate friends who care.

I'm 11 almost 12 I'm allergic to eggs. My reaction is I throw up non stop and my arms swell up a bit, it's not fun. I realized I had this allergy when I was 4, I had had scrambled eggs that morning and then went to a birthday party, I had a pice of cake, 1 hour later I had this reaction. The mom of the kid with the birthday didn't know what to do so she called my mom. My mom rushed me to the hospital to find out what was wrong. My mom though I mite have the flu but when the blood test came back

I think you all misunderstood when I said look for SUN BUTTER I meant it's a good alternative to peanut butter. not that it causes allergies!Very few probably less then 1% of people are allergic to sunflower seeds. It's supposed to be a good alternative.

This was a great help for helping e to realise what I can do when I go to restuarants to prevent a reaction. Im 15 and allergic to peanuts, tree nuts eggs dairy, gluten, soy and sesame.

I've got so much to learn since my son was tested allergic to Beef, Chicken, Pork, Turkey, Peanuts and Eggs! Less than a week ago.. It feels like longer though. Seems our grocery bill is about to double or even triple... Bleh!

Thanks for doing this video. It is longer, but I learned a few things from it, like wiping a table off when or if we ever take our baby out to eat.

@WatsonVA make sure you look for SunButter  or sunflower seed butter which is made out of sunflower seeds it's a lot like peanut butter but is allergen free and will help your little one not feel so left out when it comes to PB&J. You can get it online or health food stores along with some grocery stores.

@kardancer1 Thank you so much! We took Eli back in to be tested again a month later... he's also allergic to sunflower... just last weekend we finally realized why he's still having reactions so often most likely from sunflower seeds in the bird food we have here. Airborne allergy tests only gave results to all things cat so we are clear for feather dust, mold and so on.

My biggest thing now is finding "Egg Replacement" no substitute... it's a journey we are on for sure ;)

In November we had a DQ Ice Cream Cake cuz without frosting it's egg free, but I need to find out about the sunflower now... did you know sunflower is in cheetos/cheese puffs and some granola bars! Bleh!!
