[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have an SN child and I have a child with food allergies, so I am very sensitive to what you are going through. However, my experience also makes me skeptical of what you have been told by your doctor. Was the doctor who did this testing a mainstream MD, or an alternative medicine practitioner? For a child to have true allergies to so many different foods would be very rare, and would require intensive counsel from a registered dietician to ensure adequate nutrition. Also, it is simply not possible to be allergic to sugar. Our bodies convert all food to glucose, and if we could be allergic to that, we would not survive. Food allergies are to proteins in foods, and sugar does not have any proteins. At a minimum, I would meet with a board-certified allergist to get a second opinion on the allergies. You can find one here: http://aaaai.execinc.com/find-an-allergist/. Do this before making any drastic or unusual changes.[/quote]
