Guest guest Posted December 10, 1999 Report Share Posted December 10, 1999 , Both Kody (my 4/o TPNr) and I are latex allergic. However, in both cases, we have had multiple and many medical/surgical procedures that also put us at increased risk. the rest of my kids havent had a lot of surgical intervention and are not latex sensitive or allergic.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 1999 Report Share Posted December 10, 1999 Steph What I am concerned about is that every time Danny has had an attack (food getting stuck) with the exception of once he was eating at a restaurant that uses latex gloves in the food preparation. He also chews a tremedous amount of gum, which I think has latex in it. He has never been tested for latex allergy. sjh wrote: > , > Both Kody (my 4/o TPNr) and I are latex allergic.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 1999 Report Share Posted December 10, 1999 Have another question about the latex allergy. How would you know if he had it before the surgical procedures? Is there any way to tell?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 1999 Report Share Posted December 10, 1999 You can do a blood test, it will even pick up very mild latex allergy Re: [eosinophilic gastroenteritis] [Fwd: latex allergy] > > > Have another question about the latex allergy.
