Have you found yourself asking this question to your family, friends or doctor?
When I tell people about Brody's food allergies, I always find myself saying to them, "Do you remember going to school with kids who had food allergies? I didn't know one child with food allergies when I was in school or even when I was teaching almost 4 1/2 years ago. Now, almost every day I meet someone who has a child that is food allergic. It is becoming an epidemic and our children are suffering"

I've also heard it suggested that the rise in allergens could be related to the rise in vitamin D deficiency. Does your pediatrician check vitamin D levels?
ReplyDeleteOur pediatrician does not check vitamin D levels, but I do give both of my children liquid vitamin D because I know they are not getting it from fruits and vegetables, since Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin :)
