Nutriiveda and food allergies

[Guest guest]

I have been debating for some time starting my 2.5yo son on NV, but am worried

due to his multiple food allergies and eosinophilic esophagitis. He has tested

allergic to corn, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and mustard seed. I know

xanthum gum is corn based, but would be willing to give it a try if that was the

only allergen in the NV. Anyone with similar allergies have any trouble with

NV?

Thanks in advance!

Tina if I were you I would ask your child's allergist rather than asking here

-or did you already? I know allergies are to be taken seriously. I call tell

you that Out of the nutritionists and medical doctors who looked at the

ingredients typically the two first things said were almost always " impressive "

and " excellent that it doesn't contain the most common things people are

allergic to " I can find out more for you on Monday from one of the doctors

behind this, but again I'm sure if your child has such severe allergies there

must be someone he sees that you can run this past. (for sure from what I've

read no soy, nuts, eggs, mustard seed)

I did find this on xanthan gum

Xanthan Gum

Gum, Xanthan is used by people who are allergic to gluten to add volume and

viscosity to bread and other gluten-free baked goods. It is made from a tiny

microorganism called Xanthomonas campestris and is a natural carbohydrate.

Thanks ! We haven't asked Henry's allergist yet, but will be seeing him at

the end of May. Sometimes it's just so hard to decipher ingredient lists, as

many items have " foreign names " and end up coming from corn or a relative of the

mustard plant of all things. I think we'll wait for the results of Henry's

endoscopy next week to see if his EE has improved or not. I hate to make too

many changes between biopsies - makes it hard to tell what helped and what hurt.

Thanks again for everything!
