Children Food Allergy Stories
Birthdays were always difficult for five-year-old Blake Ringstrom. He’d watch other kids eat cookies, cupcakes, brownies, candy and ice cream. He couldn’t help but see how much other kids loved to smell their food, touch their food and taste their food. For Blake, getting his nutrients from a tube implanted in his stomach was all he really knew. Since he was six months old, he had suffered with the worst degree of children food allergy, which prevented him from eating everything except pork and white navy beans. However, with a wonderful revolutionary test called a Food Challenge, kid food allergy specialists were able to increase Blake’s tolerance to a number of foods so he can sit down to normal meals with his family.
“The Food Challenge is what we call the gold standard for diagnosing a food allergy,” explains National Jewish Hospital’s Dr. David Fleischer. In a landmark study, Fleischer and colleagues discovered that the best way to determine whether a food allergy was present was simply to give the child a small amount of that food in a clinical setting and gradually increase the dose until tolerance is reached. The kids food allergy study uncovered that they could reintroduce over 50% of the foods that came back positive in the allergy blood tests. “The problem is that a lot of people think they have food allergies; there are a lot of people that have reactions to food out there, but not every reaction is a food allergy,” Fleischer says.
In another case, Drake Norvell’s family panicked when his children food allergy surfaced. “The first time we found out [Drake] had a food allergy, he was about 4 to 6 months old, and I had fed him cereal,” Jessica Norvell recalls. “I gave him his first bite and noticed a few red spots develop. With the second bite he started coughing and I knew something wasn’t right, but a food allergy didn’t cross my mind.” Drake cannot eat peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, fish and shellfish. If he does, he will suffer allergic reactions like nausea, hives, low blood pressure and constricted airways. While most of his allergies have seen an improvement through Food Challenge testing, his tolerance for shellfish and peanuts has gotten worse, so it’s likely he will have a lifelong allergy to these foods.
There are many stories of children food allergy patients to consider. Some parents at wit’s end say their lives have been changed by Food Challenge testing. However, this test is not for all child food allergies. Kids who have severe asthma, are otherwise sickly, or who have lost consciousness during an allergy attack generally are not good subjects for testing. Also, the test can be very time-consuming (six hours at a shot, once a week for months on end) and, as a result, very expensive. Other parents prefer to buy cookbooks with food allergy recipes and buy specially made products to work around the restrictive diet. In the end, it’s best to speak with an allergy specialist to determine the best course of action.
