I also have sarcoidosis with lung involvement
It may be a allergic reaction to soy lecithin and even though I am highly allergic to soy it didn't show up in skin test for it. Had to ask allergist to do blood test. It came up on that
I'm a student journalist who wants to learn more about how non-allergic siblings navigate life with an allergic sibling.
I am not sure that we can direct message. Feel free to message me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crimson.johnson.5/
RAST is more accurate, but expensive. No matter what the test shows, you still need to listen to your body more.

I am writing a book on raising children with deadly food allergies and I would like to know how other families handle sibling dynamics.
