Highland, California
Allergies: My 2 year old son is severely allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, cats, and dogs. He is moderately allergic to grass, mold, eggs & celery. He has eczema and asthma that requires numerous inhaler treatments and a HEPA filter if there will be prolonged exposure to cats & dogs. How do I prepare his daycare provider & other family members to deal with his allergies? Can anyone tell me foods that may contain his allergens >that aren't already obvious?

Lynna Guevara
Irvine, California
Allergies: Daughter: Nichole We have not been able to figure out what is my 17-year-old daughter’s allergy. She has gone through blood and scratch testing for everything from fish and eggs to pollens and grasses. So far, everything has come up negative. Doctor thinks (but doubts) it is a preservative in shrimp, for which there is no testing, and we are stuck at waiting for the next few reactions to occur and by process of elimination, try to figure out what it could be. She is now fighting the anxiety of going out of her immediate home area for fear of having another reaction. I was hoping other teens looking to share some support and stories could email with Nichole.
