I think the problem is that sometimes parents will say that a child is allergic to something when its acually a sensitivity to something. My ds is allergic to penicillin-full of hives (top of head and bottom of feet) next time it can be even worse, now dd has a sensitivity to yellow dye--she throws up bright yellow till its out of her system, but its easier to say allergy so she can avoid it rather than saying a sensitivity and her eating it.

now I have watched kids with peanut allergies (I have one now) and an egg allergy. Its not that hard, once you start you will know. I read labels, feed my kids all the same stuff and no one complains. We do eat alot of fruit lol!
