So sorry to hear about Allergy Zach. Horrible to think of all those meds and dr visits he's been through, not to mention the sleepless nights. I agree with the above poster, I have heard that eliminating dairy (in all it's forms, including whey and casein, which are, unfortunately, in 90% of processed foods) can alleviate symptoms or get rid of them altogether. Might be worth trying. I've had hay fever all my life, and I finally went to an allergist last year. Holy shit, I am severely allergic to EVERYTHING. I was off the charts for pollen, grass, trees and weeds of every type - pretty much anything green makes me sneeze - dust mites, and cats (which I knew about). I am not allergic to mold or dogs, which sucks because I was sort of hoping the dog was the culprit. Anyway, I'm on Zyrtec, which rocks, and Flonase, which is ok. My allergist is pushing for shots, though, which I just don't feel like I can commit to just yet. Anyway, good luck. And yes, get rid of the cats. I'll bet they have something to do with it. OMG!

I'm sorry to hear your son is suffering from an unknown source of distress. I'm sure the docs have provided a list of things to look out for and to stay away from. My personal experience with allergies, though not diagnosed as asthma, is to remove dairy from the diet. I would drink countless gallons of milk as a kid. Not until I graduated from highschool and moved out of the parents house, did I realize that 7 months a year with itchy eyes and runny nose, and scratchy throat was related to food. While on a steady diet containing milk, any contact with animals, dust, or allergens associated with hayfever, put me over the edge. I removed the milk. Without it I only have trouble with hayfever twice a year(when plants and trees go to seed). Contact with animals can be tolerated with minimal distress. I found with me it was not one thing, it was the combination and consequent overload that caused my symptoms. But the removal or limiting of one, made the others less severe. Makes sense to me, we need milk as babies, and are weened of the nipple/bottle. Why do we keep drinking it. Plus we buy pasturized milk products, the enzymes we use to digest and process its nutrients are killed in this process. Yes it stays on the shelf longer but at what cost.
