I’ve shared a lot about Jonathan’s journey over the past couple of months with plagiocephaly and torticollis. I haven’t mentioned much about Harrison’s food allergies lately, and I’ve never really shared how we identified his food allergies.
Harrison has several different food allergies. We’ve identified that he is allergic to eggs and sesame. Nathan has very mild food allergies, but it wasn’t until our niece was diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy a year before Harrison was born that we had food allergies first come to roost for our family. Because of what we saw first hand with Evie, we were on the look out for food allergies with Harrison when we started to introduce solid foods to him. I nervously gave him gluten for the first time, and waited nervously to see if he would react. I was on high alert, too, as he first tried peanuts. I wasn’t really well versed on the common allergens, though, aside from gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and dairy.
