Why are eggs and bananas bad for ASD kids?

[Guest guest]

My son's allergy tests showed he tolerates eggs and bananas but I have read so

many posts

about kids not doing well with them ... why?

I've never heard this. My son doesn't eat either

because he tested allergic to both. I knew about

the eggs; he broke out in hives and vomited, but

bananas were his favorite food.

They aren't bad for all kids, just some.  If you suspect he's intolerant do a challenge.  Remove them for a week or so and then add it back one at a time to see if there are any reactions.  Reactions can be very subtle - it could be phenols, it could be sugars, etc. so it's not always easy to tell.CherylMy son's allergy tests showed he tolerates eggs and bananas but I have read so many posts about kids not doing well with them ... why?gfcfmom

Actually they are low in phenols (my son can eat an unlimited amount without enzymes but can't have medium or high phenols without enzymes) but they are high in amines. You can take phenol enzymes to help with phenols but I don't think there are enzymes out there for amines.
