Food Allergies

I heard on the Today show this morning that the CDC has noted that food allergies are up in children. Findings show that 1 in every 26 kids have them, which is up 10% in the past 10 years. I feel anyone dealing with ADD/ADHD symptoms need to be tested for food allergies. Another article to the same topic posted on Comcast News today says that babies are taking longer than previously thought to "grow out" of food allergies to eggs and milk. I was told my son "outgrew" his milk allergy when he stopped breaking out in hives, but what I saw was a change in the symptoms from hives to ADHD behaviors and vomitting when he has milk and foods containing milk. I'm not so sure I believe we outgrow these allergies. It is very interesting for me to see these studies come out, it is like the Universe's little way of saying-"Dawn, you're onto something here."
Thank You for the insight to be aware of it!
