Tolerance often increases as healing progresses. I have never read up on phenols and know the parents are concerned about them. It may be just the egg whites. have you tried yolks alone? Common foods that are cross reactive with latex allergy are: bananas, apples, celery, kiwi fruit, avocados, chestnuts, carrots and sometimes tomato. Below is an additional secondary list with others which I can usually tolerate intermiitently: I erased the ones that Are illegal on SCD Latex - , dill, figs, kiwi fruit, melon, oregano, papaya, sage, tomatoes and POSSIBLY apricots, cherries, figs, grapes, oranges, passion fruit, peaches, peanuts, pears, pineapple, strawberries and walnuts. Latex allergy is only present in about 8% of the population but it can be challenging if also doing SCD, but i manage well. Carol F.
