oh no Allergies

hi to everyone at oh no allergies. I have a 2 yr old son who has alot of food allergies and it makes life so hard to try and cook for him as he cant have dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, rice, goats milk, peas, and some fruits. If anyone has any ideas on how to cook for him it would be great and if there are any other mums out there that have children with similar allergies it would be great to meet you. Look forward to meet everyone and getting some great advise of others in the same situation.

Bye and take care.

 

Hi another question for you all to ponder. My lovely Emily with her multiple food allergies is turning two and this year can actually have a special cake ---- yipee. Last year she had corn crackers with pureed pear layers and pure icing sugar on top.... yes interesting.  Does anyone have sugestions on how to colour the icing just so it looks a little more normal, I'm stuck on this one.  Natural seems to work best as long as no rice or standard wheat.  Cheers Suzy and Emily

Just got sent this - haven't really had a good look yet, though my sil says it is a bit cumbersome to navigate - have a look and see what you think:

You can put in your allergies and search among 1000s of brand names for food safe for you!

We are always on the lookout for snacks that are nut and or egg free.  I found these great ones in the health food aisle of the supermarket called Freedom Foods - Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free and low GI - what more could you want??

I told my sister in law as she has a daughter with severe allergies and she found a website where you can order them - you put in your allergies and it brings up the products you can have!  Just thought I'd share!

I am allergic to sulphar, coedine, and food intoleraces too

My son is intolerant/allergic to msg 621, flavour enhancer 635 natural colour 160b and suspected 282. Makes life interesting as 160b in particular is in loads of stuff, yoghurt, juice cordial , cheese, butter etc etc and 282 in most bread apart from brumbies and bakers delight. he is allergic to peanut butter , dust and cats

fortunately none are life threatening but are still veryunpleasant, shanes nose interior swells making breathing more difficult, causing extreme headaches, hyperactivity, hives and red rash.

 

Hi  i suffer from Asthma but only when i have a cold. Also i have Hayfever. Sean my hubby hasn't really got any allergies in nor have the girls. But damon suffers from a strange allergy which is wool.

Not sure what triggered that but he can't wear any thing made from wool at all. When he younger, can't remember how old, we put a jumper over a t shirt. Took it off later too find lots of spots and he started scratching. So since then he doesn't go near wool as he knows he can't wear it.

He also is allergic to something else but as of now we still haven't worked it out what it is.

I am the lucky lady who suffers from asthma and hayfever.  My husband also suffered asthma as a child and suffers echsma (?).  Amazingly our son has no allergies - though he may have a tendency to coeliacs.  We had him tested as my niece has VERY severe allergies (nut & egg) which affect their life seriously (and everyone around them).  No sign yet on my daughter but we will see....

about a month ago I invested in an atmosphere which is basically an air purification system only it is the best one out there on the market...

this thing it takes 99.99% of the impurities out of the air (dust, pollin, smoke, flu bug even the sars virus...) it come with a 90 day money back guarantee... anyway I have been trialing it and boy it realy does wonders... it does what it says it does... It is so good that every1 has stopped snoring sneezing you name it and my eyes have not watered in ages...

This thing can clean a room the size of a cinema so it basically does the whole house.... i just turn it on auto and its in built sensor detects how much junk is inb the air and adjust itself accordingly.... not once inthis past month have i had to clean my ceiling fan or dust my bookshelves either....

its absolutly fantastic... anyway i thought i would share my wonderful experience with you... has anyone else got suggestions for helping with allergies..

I don't have any allergies that I know. My hubby has hayfever as does my mum - both quite severe. My mil suffers from asthma. My girl is very healthy. My big boy is the one who suffers most in our house with allergies. He has severe eczema - it makes me cry. He also has asthma which is mostly under control. Hayfever is a problem for him too. He has mild food allergies yet I think  it is contact allergies that are the biggest problem.

I can not have gluten as i am a coeliac...

if i dont wish to pay top dollar for gluten free biscuits and cakes then i just cant have any....

usualy i do with out instead... no biscuits cakes bread pasta ect.... which is not realy aproblem as fruit and veg are healthier but it does get boring after a while...

sad thing is it is hereditary and my daighter stands a good chance of developing it... poor gal
