[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children don't get a dirty younger any more. My mom and dad kept things super clean for me and I have the most allergies. Also, kids would just die younger (choke to death) or have low level allergies their whole lives and no one would care. I'm allergic to both wheat and dairy, they cause digestive issues and eczema for me, that I've had since the age of 3. Stoped eating them at 40 and the issues stopped. No one had ever thought to check.[/quote]

But are digestive issues and eczema really allergies or are they intolerance? I would consider those to be an intolerance not a true allergic response.  Not referring to PP, but intolerances are often incorrectly called allergies.  But true allergies are on the rise as well, no doubt.  [/quote]

Both dairy and wheat came back on my allergy blood IGE test at the allergist office as allergies, along with shellfish, which makes my face swell. So, yes, I have been officially diagnosed with allergies by an MD 40 years after I started showing symptoms,.which were ignored.

It's kinda nice not to have eczema over my hands and feet, coated in steroid cream, and not have explosive IBS for the first time in years.

A lot of these things were ignored and shrugged off in the past as "not really allergies." Now you can test for some. [/quote]

NP. We love allergy partners of springfield.

Oh I’ve had hand eczema (crazy itchy tiny weeping blisters, then dry flaky skin) since my teens. Who was your doctor,  if I could narrow down a food that would be life changing. [/quote][/quote]
