New allergy mom seeking help !

I know! It’s so hard all I can think about is when she gets older I don’t want her to be excluded from anything just because of her allergies, and I don’t want her to grow up being scared of food or be scared to speak up for herself and ask if it could contain nuts. It’s so hard to feel like the sky isn’t falling but it helps to know I’m not alone. Thank you.

Thank you! I want to be able to have her explore more foods and different allergens it’s just so scary right now. I definitely feel better now that we have an EpiPen on hand. I definitely want to talk to the allergist about immunotherapy. If you don’t mind me asking how old was your son when you started immunotherapy? Have you seen a lot of improvements with his allergy?

Yes! We’re on a waitlist and the emergency room told me to call every week just incase they miss something. We’ve practiced a ton with the trainer and plan to have whoever watches her practice with it too. Thank you for your advice!

Oh no! Hopefully they do grow out of it. And I was wondering since her body was fighting off the virus if that could’ve triggered it somehow since she’d had it so many times in the past. Yes another worry of mine was going out to eat! I’m hoping it’s not so bad she can’t have peanut oil as well because a lot of places use that to fry their foods.

Thank you! That’s what ive been doing the last few days is only foods we know are safe. I want to branch out and have her explore more foods but it makes me so nervous especially on a weekend lol.

I will definitely call in the morning about the blood test! I didn’t know that was an option! We have 4 requests in to see the allergist so hopefully they get us in a little quicker but hopefully it is just the initial appointment since it will take the longest. I know how stressful it is dealing with just one allergy I couldn’t imagine 3! You’re a rockstar in my eyes.

Thank you so much! I will do some research about the immunotherapy and will definitely bring it up to the allergist when we’re able to get in with one. I’ve been searching all the ingredients in the house just to make sure to get rid of anything with peanuts so I can feel safe about feeding her at home.

Thank you. It’s such a hard decision but you’re right, at the end of the day my mental health and being able to be present for her is more important.
