What Causes Food Allergy?
my son has been diagnosed with several food allergies, he is allergic to all foods that come from a mammal plus a few others, I am wondering if there is a specific disorder that may be causing this. He also has renal tubular acidosis and allergic esophogitis.

I have gone through your problem.
Certain food can cause severe allergic reaction to some predisposed person....same food may not cause similar reaction to other person...it is highly unpredictable.
Better is to avoid similar food types which causes allergies previously & some known food which usually causes allergy like sea fish/prawn/egg/cabbages/dairy product/brinjal etc.
It is better to keep some antihistaminic and steroid Medicine always in home as lifesaving measure.Please consult with your family physician for details.
Thank you.
