Is your child allergic to something 'strange'

[MummaOJ]

Sorry, not sure how to word it. Has anyone done an elimination diet on their child and then found out through blood tests later that their allergy is to an uncommon thing? If so, what are they intolerant/allergic to and how did you find out? My reason is that DD is getting hives, 4 weeks of dairy, gluten, wheat, preservative (listed), & citrus free she is still breaking out. It is still a week til we get skin pricks done as we are now reintroducing, but I have no idea what else could be causing it, her diet is raw and bland now, anyone got any similar stories to share? Thanks!

Have you eliminated fruit or just citrus fruit? I am allergic to kiwi fruit (don't think that counts as citrus?)

my son is allergic to stonefruit we think. i say we think as I we know he is allergic to mango and apricot. and we have no yet tried the others due to the allergy. it has been suggested to us that its possibly all stone fruit. he gets bad eczema and swelling type reaction

DD1 is allergic to tomato. What fruit and vege is your DD eating?

[MummaOJ]

Ah ha, see...potato, I suspect this but was told its unlikely. Keep them coming, I feel so defeated!

My husband ( possibly DS not sure yet) is allergic to raw fruits and veg, he can eat them cooked but not raw, especially fruits, apples, pears, peaches etc he's also allergic to hazelnuts but not peanuts (maybe that's because te peanuts are processed in some way??) he also gets very ill from battered deep fried foods.

The raw food problem is called
oral allergy syndrome, it's related to pollen I think, most sufferers also have hay fever.

DS has an intolerance to chicken meat. Nothing else. 3 hours after consuming he vomits till only bile. Its a form of FPIES.
