Latex allergy

[Hoodie]

We were warned of banana and avacado. The only fruit my ds will eat is banana (sensory issue w/ very limited food choices). He is 12 now but the allergy first appeared at 4 and I still peel his bananas for him - I was told the peel is the problem.

I would say that he probably isn't allergic to them then. I'm one of the rare cases where the banana allergy is my primary. I've been allergic since birth. I can't ingest them at all, whether raw, cooked, or blended in yummy cocktails. I'm mildly latex sensitive and sensitive to avocado, kiwi and raw tomato. Those are more annoyances though (itchiness, etc.). Bananas induce migraines, vomiting and occasionally hives. It's not pretty. What's interesting is that even though I'm not technically allergic to latex, all doctors treat me as such due to the banana allergy. Apparently having one or the other can lead to developing the allergy to the other one at any time.

My ds also has food sensory issues and only eats bananas for his fruit too! His dad has to give him his bananas. If dad is working or not around, he's just out of luck. Hope your kiddo keeps eating them with ease!

I hope so too. I really don't like that he doesn't eat other fruits and no veggies except potatoes (baked or fry form).

We've had to call the squad twice because benadryl was taking too long. Both times he had been playing with Nerf frisbee/football.
