I strongly suspect that ds2 is reacting to egg through my breastmilk.
I am curretnly in the middle of an egg-free diet and he is much, much better

however when I've been googling egg allergy/intolerence stuff I have come across a lot of places saying that the most common allergies in children are specifically hens egg allergyh (among other things)
So, I am wondering if there is anyone on here whose child has an egg eallergy/intolerence but who is ok with duck eggs or whatever

no, dont use other birds eggs. similar proteins.

Eggs and peanut allergies seem to go hand in hand as well, because of linking similar protein structures.

As for milk, any milk , from any mammal that will cause a problem. human is best, but even that can cause a problem for some unlucky few.
esp those with a long list of allergies.
