[quote=Anonymous]My brother and I are full genetic siblings. My mom ate the same foods during both pregnancies, fed my brother and I the same foods, and brother and I were raised in the same house, but I haven’t had any food allergies yet (almost 50), while my brother developed severe allergies to all forms of poultry as a tween, and several kinds of seafood in his 20s (not just shellfish; he can’t eat salmon either). Brother has also always been allergic to pollen and pet dander (we never had a cat or dog). My only known allergy is to Penicillin. Mom had no known allergies until her 50s or 60s, but has had allergic reactions to numerous medications since then, and modal fabric. Dad was only allergic to pollen, but didn’t have severe reactions, just sneezed a lot.

I don’t think my parents did anything that caused these allergies, but my mom feels bad that she never attempted to breastfeed. My teens have no known allergies, but I wouldn’t pat myself on the back for doing anything right; we just got lucky.[/quote]
