I'm Allergic To Everything

Well, at least that is what Mom thinks. She says she has a new skill: label-reading. All I know is I am missing a few of my favorite foods.

from Ben's mom
Ben is allergic to: dairy (milk and cheese); soy; corn; food additives; nightshade vegetables (eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, etc...); citrus; sugar and; egg whites (but not the yolks). His parents have revamped the budget to pay for all his special foods and his supplements. We hope that he outgrows most of these in time. It seems he took both of our allergies and then added a few of his own. Corn and soy are in EVERYTHING. Ugh.

You have my sympathy. DOB is allergic to soy, and I know how hard it is to steer clear of that by itself. So far D1 hasn't shown any definitive allergies, but then I'm only just starting to introduce her to the more likely stuff. Everyone in DOB's family is allergic to something different, so I'm a little paranoid.
