Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/18/2008

The most ominous news story tonight: “IAF is Ready for Iran’s Nuclear Sites”. A period of great peril for Israel is fast approaching. Assuming that the mullahs have a nuclear capability, the most dangerous time will likely be between the inauguration of Barack Obama â€" when the United States ...

Booger spray + nervous mothers x hand sanitizers = pussified kids

Booger spray + nervous mothers x hand sanitizers = pussified kids

This interweb series of tubes thingy is a funny place. And it is such because of the crap I read that is passed off as “news”. And, the news is stating that since it is getting chilly outside again, it’s time for our annual visit to find out where all those nasty germs are hiding. ...

The Babushka

The Babushka

We had a scholar in residence at our synagogue this weekend, a very distinguished Jewish historian. I recommend his books highly, if you really want to know what we've been through as a people.* Berel Wein is also an esteemed rabbi and a lawyer, although he gave up law for the higher calling. FD and...

Crashing Into Sarah Palin

Crashing Into Sarah Palin

To anyone who has been following my blog since August 29th, you know just how intensely I have been writing about the trajectory of Governor Sarah Palin. After she failed to make a campaign appearance in Miami, and her ticket lost the presidential election, I thought it would be ages until I saw her...

Peanut Butter Kisses

Peanut Butter Kisses

A Cautionary Tale One of my favorite things to do for a postpartum mommy is to take her other kids for the day so she can rest. This is such a fun Christian apostolate and is far preferable to, say, caring for the lepers on Molokai or having one’s fingers chewed off by the natives. I’m such a wi...

Sleep Feeding - New Problem or Old Sign of Acid Reflux?

Sleep Feeding - New Problem or Old Sign of Acid Reflux?

Over the past few weeks I’ve had several questions from parents on a problem referred to as sleep feeding.  What is it? Why do babies do it?  What can I do about it?  And (perhaps the most interesting issue) where did this problem come from?  Here’s my take.  And Iâ...

Idiots running the school food programs

Idiots running the school food programs

Seriously, what other explanation can there be for this: I know my chocolate chip cookies, which are a third each fat, sugar and flour (not counting the chocolate chips and egg) would not pass those guidelines. Are we going to say, “Yes! buy that garbage from Kraft, like Snackwells”â€"ar...

Day by day by day

I was just sitting in my rocker tonight, nursing Waylon, and thinking how quickly life is flying by and how I'm not blogging about any of it here. I know I'll regret that one day so I need to play catch up ASAP by just jotting down things as they happen and as I remember them. If you've ...

The New Mother's Market in Santa Ana

The New Mother's Market in Santa Ana

Sun 11.09.08 - For various reasons, my local Whole Foods market is the worst store in the chain in SoCal, I won't go into all of it, but let's just say 2 things on the matter : stock & employee morale. It is not fun to shop at a market where one gets guff from the checkers & baggers about one's purc...

common allergies in childrenHome>> Food Allergy in Child
Childhood allergies are a common and growing problem in the United States. In recent years, the number of children with allergies to food, pollens, latex and other allergens has grown dramatically. Any food can cause an allergic reaction, but 90% of all food allergies are caused by one of the following: wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish and shell fish.



The FDA estimates that 2 percent of adults and up to 8 percent of young children have some form of food allergies. Each year, about 30,000 people need to be rushed to the emergency room and 150 people die. Food allergy symptoms can range from mild to life threatening and may include, hives, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue and/or eyes, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, itching and tightness of throat, difficulty breathing, wheezing, in extreme cases, anaphylactic shock.

The younger you are and the larger the amount of allergen you're exposed to, the greater the risk of becoming allergic to it, so children are at the highest risks. The exact reason behind the rise of allergies in children is unknown. But a growing body of evidence suggests that a combination of genetic and environmental factors is at the root of most childhood allergies.

Remember that your pediatrician can prescribe the medications needed to treat an allergic reaction and should be consulted as soon as you are concerned that your child may have allergies.
