certainly like your website but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will definitely come back again.

My 7 yr old son who was diagnosed with Asthma/Allergies 1 month before he turned 2 started out with just a allergy to cats, well now he is allergic to all animals with fur, he has developed allergies to most outside things, trees, grass etc… he is also allergic to dust mites, and he can not take Motrin. Everytime he gets tested, more things pop up.
My 8 yr old who has mild asthma symptoms is allergic to cats,dogs,dust mites and most outside things.
My 4 yr old daughter has mild asthma and will be tested soon for allergies.

[...] Which Allergies Trigger You/Your Child the Most? [...]

I have a ton of allergies, but since I’ve given up wheat, they have been far less of a problem. My biggie right now is cold induced asthma. It sucks! Especially since Rochester is COLD! But I exercise inside and try to stay in as much as possible on the super cold days.

Amy – I have no clue. I assume it’s some ingredient in the wafer (as in Canada, they’re made by the same company, and I can eat other bars – which don’t have wafers – from that brand). My best guess is either a rare ingredient specific to those bars or a combination of mild allergies that add up together but that I normally get hit with separately and so don’t notice (good example is horses + dogs… Separately, they don’t bug me too much… Together, I wind up hacking and short of breath). My doctor said that since I know how to avoid it and I don’t get reactions from other brands, I shouldn’t worry about it unless I start to have reactions to other foods.

I forgot another true allergy of mine – tobacco smoke. I break out in hives AND have a nasty asthma attack in response to it (I didn’t discover this until I hit my “stupid teenager” phase and decided that as a “Recovered” asthmatic, I could try smoking with impunity – Very Bad Idea. Since I was a Goofus Recovered Asthmatic, I didn’t have my inhaler with me and so nearly wound up at the ER – a friend thankfully loaned me her inhaler, and I never went near cigarettes again! XD). My allergist told me that he can’t test for cigarrette smoke, but from what I describe, I should avoid it like the plague since it’s about as bad as my hay allergy, for which I’m at “very high” risk of a life-threatening reaction. To date, I’ve been able to manage both with Benadryl and a rescue inhaler, but he suggested I consider an Epipen, just in case.

Allergies, Triggers, interactions that worsen symptoms, intolerances which worsen symptoms…..
….This is a massive topic for many severe asthmatics. Thank the Lord for EpiPens!

Here’s my input:

I am hIghly allergic (anaphylactic) to Aspirin and Ibuprofen.

I have severe Wheat (Gluten) Allergy-not intolerance, serious allergy!

I am also severely allergic (Huge asthma flare symptoms) to red food dye, cherries, strawberries, paprika-this causes no end of reading the back of packets and eating bland, neutral food in restaurants.

Regarding Nuts: I underwent desensitization therapy for peanuts. I can consume 2 brands-one UK one US but am not allowed to eat PB on my own-just in case. I was severely nut allergic (anaphylactic) in my 20s. I do not eat tree nuts if I can help it. But I’m not allergic in any way.

Regarding Air/atmospheric triggers: HDM-dreadful. Dust-dreadful. I use anti HDM bed coverings, seal the mattress, chuck away and buy new pillows on a regular basis-better than washing actually-Costco are cheap enough! Damp dust twice weekly (Zzzzz) and avoid places like libraries, old people’s houses!

Damp air, fog, heat plus humidity (Florida, aaargh!) big drop in barometric pressure, thunder storms—–these conditions have put me in the ER many a time.

There are more but they are the same for every other atopic asthmatic, I’m sure!

Birch pollen season-constant sinus and rhinitis issues.

Life can be so-sweet!!!

Hugs!

I’m not sure that M. has any true allergies. I have her on Allavert on her pedi’s suggestion, but if I forget, even for several days, I don’t notice any real difference…her sister, on the other hand, if I forget her Zyrtec one day, or her Flonase, she’s suffering all day.

We really don’t know what triggers her. She doesn’t seem to have any environmental allergy triggers.
