So sorry to hear that! I am allergic to gluten and soy and it is so challenging as soy is in everything- unless I make it myself. Best of luck to you
My baby boy has had bad reactions every time he has had his immunisations. This time round (16 weeks) he has basically cried for 2 days squirming and arching his back a lot, needed to be cuddled and nursed due to stomach pain.

When I saw him, he said "If this was a proven cure for severe food allergies and people had access to this, no one would have severe food allergies."… read more
