During the summer and early fall each time I ate shrimp Wesley had a reaction which included screaming, back arching, a rock hard stomach, extreme discomfort and fussiness for an extended period of time usually 12-24 hours. It was horrible. The pediatrician immediately suggested I no longer eat shrimp as it potentially could be an allergy. At his six month check up she suggested I have him allergy tested just to be sure. Yesterday after Declan's preschool we went to the allergy doctor. Wesley was poked six times with shrimp, crab, oyster, clam and two control histamines. All the reactions were negative so he's not allergic to shrimp! I no longer have to worry about him not breathing if he comes into contact with shell fish. The doctor did say that he could have a food intolerance and it may upset his stomach, but it's safe for me to have!
