I just cringe every time my son tells me he got "the tingly," his term for that weird vibrations in his mouth when he eats something he's allergic to. Sometimes it's because there's a hidden veggie in something he ate, or sometimes (ugh) it's because I forgot and gave him something he shouldn't have. It's hard to keep track! I still have this vague feeling that the kids aren't healthy because they're not eating enough fruits and veggies, but I'm slowly getting used to the whole process. What bugs me is that there are so many "healthy" products out there with apple juice, pear juice or grape juice as sweeteners. It's like a grenade hidden in a treat! Good luck to you, and I hope my site helps a bit :) ~ LisaVintageMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545128418933344478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235870075007669222.post-54706623538145097042012-01-07T23:48:20.281-05:002012-01-07T23:48:20.281-05:00I am SO GLAD to have found your blog! After 5 year...I am SO GLAD to have found your blog! After 5 years of trying to get my picky youngest to eat any fruits and vegetables, and one severe reaction to grapes, we finally found out a year or so ago that he has OAS, reacting to grass, birch, and ragweed pollens.<br /><br />Because of the severe reaction and the wide variety of triggers, I took him off raw fruits & veg entirely. And yes, I get the "crazy" look - "what do you mean your kid can't have raw fruits or vegetables?"<br /><br />Our allergist has him on children's Claritin daily "from frost to frost" but we are still struggling to find food that he trusts. Looking forward to reading more about someone else dealing with this problem and getting some good ideas. Thank you so much!heather tnoreply@blogger.com
