Introduce Yourself - We're Glad You Found Us!

[Janelle205]

Welcome back! 

While I don't remember you, guessing from before my time, I'm glad to see you.

Hi im Melissa i have an insane list of food/chemical/medicinal allergies, i have Celiac (as do both my girls.) My youngest girl also has Austism, making it very difficult to get her to understand her food allergies. Everyone in my family is allergic to something and has another medical condition to go with it. I also have OCD (or is that normal when you have to be so very careful about every morsel of food you and your family eats?)

Hi Melissa!  Sounds like you have your hands full - you'll fit right in here LOL!

Welcome Melissa     

I think being a bit OCD is normal for me...and this crowd 

Glad you found us.

Hi from MO. My husband had many allergies: aspirin, penicillin, NSADS, tree nuts, chocolate. Recently he had a severe reaction to sesame seeds. I am open to any heads up! He appears to be intolerant to lactose and wheat, also

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

There is an area all about seed allergies.  I recommend you look through it.

Seed Allergy

Sesame seeds are in a lot of pre-packaged foods, and not always listed for cross contamination.

Hi Maranda.     Welcome to the forum.

Hello, I recently stumbled across this page.  I have Celiac and my almost 3 yr ol DS is newly diagnosed with Eosiniphilic Esophagitus and is allergic to wheat, barley, dairy and peas.  We just did round 2 for endoscopy and found things are slightly better but that we are missing another allergin.  If any of you have kids with EoE or have EoE I would love to chat.

Hi Angie 

There are several members here who deal with Celiac and also several who have EE or have a child with EE as well as all of us dealing with just allergies, so I'm sure you'll find plenty of information and support.  Feel free to jump in with any questions, etc.

Hello!  I'm SkyScorcher (or just Sky).  You probably all know my mom, CMDeux...  I have a pretty lengthy list of allergies, peanut being the most severe and milk sensitivity a minor nuisance.    I also have an egg allergy, but I'm going through... well, the closest word I can think of is "therapy," taking a daily dose of very little egg to build up tolerance.
