My husband had allergies as a child, but I was completely new to it. My daughter developed allergies at age 2, and my son at 6 months old. Before that, she used to eat everything. She’s allergic to dairy, eggs, nuts, sesame, strawberries, coconut, and all citrus fruits. My son has similar allergies, with the addition of all lentils.

My daughter struggled with allergies and eczema from age 2 to 7. She started methotrexate last November, and her skin has been doing well since. My son is also on methotrexate and doing well too. We still avoid all their allergens and are hoping they can outgrow their allergies over time.

We found Facebook groups for kids with eczema through Google helpful along the way.

We used methotrexate, folic acid, and fexofenadine medications.

I was born with rashes, leaving my mom to suspect I suffered from food allergies since my first day. However, I was not properly diagnosed until I was 4 years old. My mom was taking me in and out of doctors who couldn’t figure out why the rashes were starting. Most just gave her creams to help them go away but that never helps. It took until one doctor finally suggested an allergist and we learned I was allergic to dairy, shellfish, and red meat. I never grew out of my allergies. They expanded instead. Today, I am allergic to dairy, soy, corn, gluten, shellfish, nightshades, and coconut.

We kept up with the trends of FARE. Recently, we discovered Spokin to help us find new food allergy brands.
