Seriously, I’ve had a belly ache since I was a little kid. I was told I was just constipated, I had colitis, I had an ulcer, I had IBS, I had fibromyalgia, etc. etc. I experienced lactose intolerance on and off, intolerance to raw anything, reactions to chicken for two years and I had jaw […]

I have been allergic to beans/peas/legumes, and also peanuts, since birth. Back when I was born (1970), they didn’t routinely test babies for allergies, so it took a few dr’s before they realized the (soy) formula that I was being given was actually making me really sick. I am not so allergic to peanuts that […]

When our son was born, we were overwhelmed because ALL he did was cry and spit up. His sheets were pilled from him squirming around at night because he was itchy and he had eczema that was seeping on his forehead. In birthing class, we’d been told that our baby’s skin wouldn’t be the smooth, […]

Seventeen year-old Allie knew that she should stay away from eggs for years. Unfortunately, it took her parents longer to understand this was not just a “dislike” of eggs, but an allergy. After one test did not show a positive result, another one verified the allergy. She does not have a reaction unless she eats […]

Neither me nor anyone in my family has any history of food allergies. Boy am I lucky or what? During my 4th month of pregnancy, I started feeling nauseous at random […]

Christina shares… My son is allergic to cows milk, and we recently learned he is also allergic to Corn! Which is in everything, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup. It is a filler that is not all that healthy either. Telling a 2 1/2 yr old you can no longer have Kix, Life or Fruit […]

From our FAB Family… I had allergies my entire life. I suffered from a year-round “hay fever” and was terribly allergic to cats. I was never an energetic person, and I always felt just a little bit tired. Having kids didn’t help with the tired part. My husband and I thought maybe we should figure […]

From Jason… We’ve got a loooong story, but basically we don’t have any deathly food allergies nor Celiacs, but our two young daughters have about 40 allergies between them! However, we discovered Paleo a few months ago and haven’t looked back since. We’re so much happier and healthier than ever and we love it! Learn […]

I knew something was very wrong the first time I stopped breathing after eating. I spent the next couple years worried about everything I ate and wondering why such a thing would happen to me. I had heard of kids being allergic to foods but I didn’t know that it could come on suddenly as […]
