Peanut butter is OK?
I am going to have to start trying the exclusion diet. He will hate
that. He is addicted to yogurt right now but he really goes through
phases.
On the topic of breastfeeding. He was adopted so I did try to
breastfeed but he really didn't get a lot of nutritional value, he was
eating a lot right from the start, and I wasn't producing any milk for
a couple of months. It was more a bonding thing.
If I just assume he is immune compromised from that, where should I go
to look for a diet for him that will rebuild his immune system? He only
got a couple of ear infections but I used either olive oil, or Olive
oil and CS and nipped them in the bud. He also had this wierd fungus
under his neck ( in the folds ) when he was really little that the
naturopath gave me a copper powder mix for, and it cured that real
quick.
I managed to avoid getting him vaccinated once we had him home, but he
did have Hep B in the hospital at one day of age ( cretins ). I
supposed that was unavoidable since his birth mom is a low income black
woman who they were bound to assume all sorts of things about. Poor
kid.
Thanks for all the great info folks!

P.S. this list has really helped me with both my kids health issues
now. DD no longer has episodes of bladder infection, and although it
wasn't CS that cured them, I did snag a lot of information from here
and from the rest of the net about allergies and what they can actually
cause that helped to clue me in to her allergies. I think Christine or
someone else posted a while back about what can be done to get rid of
your allergies, I would love to see that topic come up again.
This is such a great resource, I am so grateful that you all are here
and sharing what you know!
Kudo's to Mike for creating it.

From my personal experience:
Soya sauce, vinegars, any store juices (freshly squeezed are OK), some
spices (black pepper for example), food additives like MSG and the
newer inosinates and sodium guanylate, dried fruit and peanut butter.
I only react to blue cheeses, thankfully. An exclusion diet for a
while then reintroducing suspect foods one by one is the only
practical way to find out for sure.

I would say yes, but I'm only speaking from my experience and I'm not
a doctor. My allergist was a teacher also, and taught me to be my
own sleuth when it casme to what would trigger asthma. things that
contain mold spores are not only cheese, but anything fermented and
even food that is more than two days old. That means watch out for
leftovers.

That was the second opinion. I suppose I could get a third but I think
that I will get a similar line with all the allopathic docs. They seem
to think that because they have reduced the dose on inhaled steroids it
is o.k. to take them longer. I just had a discussion with DH and we
both think we can link all the attacks to episodes of mold exposure.
Does this mean he should also avoid foods made with mold such as
cheeses?
