Allergy links

We're still trying to figure out Little Grab's hives and will be seeing an allergist in two weeks. Below are two links we were given for more information that have been helpful.

Allergy & Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics - check out Breatherville.

The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network - check out food allergens for more information about what to look for in product packaging.

The hives were from a sulfa allergy

The allergist we saw thought the hives were a classic reaction to the sulfa drug and not a reaction to another food. We had Little Grab tested and he didn't have a reaction to any of the common allergens. It was, however, very difficult to keep him still for the skin test to take effect. I was reassured after the test and the hives eventually went away, after about a month.
