[quote=Anonymous]We have met with several specialists and over the course of a year have identified what flares him up- wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, tomatoes, chocolate, nuts, preservatives, annatto, sorbitol, and some others. Basically anything that comes in a box or can triggers hives and then skin that looks like third degree burns on his neck, torso, legs, arms, back and cheeks.

I hope you are reading op, and I know you are here to complain about food at kid events, but I beg you to reread what you wrote. Think about it being somewhat objective and ask yourself, was all this coming from doctors that actually are into food sensitivities or from gastro and allergy specialists. All nuts? This all sounds like elimination and then saying it bothered him. Where is he eating sorbitol and preservatives to this degree? If you stay away from all of these, are flare-ups still happening? If yes, do you just add another food to the list of what he can't eat?
I am guessing you are desperate to figure out what is causing these flare-ups and have gone from specialist to specialist who somehow told you, well stay away from this and this. This is like when I was looking for answers and nobody figured out it was Lyme. I was put on prednisone, allergy meds, back pain meds, inhalers, given also eczema topical creme, it was never-ending.
All I wanted to say is that unless you are sure, really sure all these foods are causing these reactions, you should explore the options about how to overcome these allergies as they are not life-threatening right now.
