About MOM WITH KIDS WITH SEVERE FOOD ALLERGY AND ANAPHYLAXIS

MY mission is "to help moms just like me to a better understanding of, food allergy and anaphylaxis. A food allergy is an immune system response to a food that the body mistakenly believes is harmful. Although an individual could be allergic to any food, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats, there are eight foods that account for 90% of all food-allergic reactions. These are: milk, egg, peanut, tree nut (walnut, cashew, etc.), fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat.
MY SON MASON...HAS FOOD ALLERGIES TO MILK, WHEAT, ALL NUTS, SHELLFISH, FISH, STRAWBERRYS, TOMATOES, EGGS, GREEN PEAS, AND MANY MORE...

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
Who is at risk for having an anaphylactic reaction?
Individuals who have asthma in addition to food allergies may be at increased risk for having a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction to food.
In some reactions, the symptoms go away, only to return two to three hours later. This is called a “biphasic reaction.” Often these second-phase symptoms occur in the respiratory tract and may be more severe than the first-phase symptoms. Studies suggest that biphasic reactions occur in about 20 percent of anaphylactic reactions.
I'VE LOST HIM TWICE..BUT THANKS TO GOD AND THE EPIPEN JR..HE IS STILL HERE TODAY...

Just because a product was safe the last time you purchased it, doesn't mean the ingredients have stayed the same! It is very important to read all labels all of the time. (ALL LABELS ALL THE TIME..)
