Hives in the Kitchen

Welcome! We are a homeschooling family in Texas- so we've never been normal by any standards- but with the addition of our third little one, we have entered into the overwhelming and really unfun world of food allergies. Our little girl is allergic to egg white, wheat, soy, dairy, peanuts, sesame seeds, bananas, avocados, pineapples, melons, tree nuts, coconuts, flax seeds, quinoa, and sunflower seeds. This is our life as we stave off starvation and try to maintain sanity.

The Link Between Food and What Ails Your Child

If you had asked me several years ago the role food played in children's sicknesses and behavior issues, I probably would have thought you were crazy. Well, if you asked me now, I'd tell you that I absolutely feel that food plays a huge role in just about everything!

Here's a book on my wishlist:

Cure Your Child With Food

The author draws connections between various foods and childhood illnesses and includes information about treatment.

I can personally vouch for the connection between dairy consumption and ear infections and gluten consumption and rashes. What a difference our crazy diet makes for us!
