1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Go ahead, hear that babies and peanut butter. Welcome to

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: this episode of Amy and DJ Robes. This is a

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: big deal confirmation we know that it works and that

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: we should all be giving babies a little introduction of peanuts.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: Right because peanut allergies have gotten, and at least had

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: gotten while my kids were school aged out of control

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 2: to the point where nobody could bring a PB and Jada.

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: School anymore, and that was like my go to.

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's a healthy choice, but peanut butter

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: and banana sandwich. Oh my gosh, that's what I took

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: every day, and I couldn't pack that for my kids

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: because there were too many peanut allergies.

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Really yeah, okay, Well, we know this affects millions of kids.

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: The estimates of kind of all over the place, but

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: anywhere from two to four plus percent of kids have

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: specifically a peanut allergy. About eight percent of kids have

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: some kind of food allergy, but peanuts that is the

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: most prevalent among our children. Well, there's a not just

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: a new study, guidance changed, and now we have confirmation

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Robes that the guidance was right and this is working.

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: Fewer kids have allergies because of this the guidance, yes.

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: And it's significant.

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: It's not just a few they're saying that they have

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: saved significant I think they gave a very specific number

25
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: of folks who would have had peanut allergies who now longer,

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: do not or never developed.

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: You've had two kids, the youngest is nineteighteen, so go

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: back two decades. What was the guidance doctors were giving

29
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: around that time for pe nuts and introducing things like that.

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: I believe I was told to introduce it all to them.

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: You know, you've got this schedule basically, so you can

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: see if there's an allergy.

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: So first you give them.

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: I forgot what it was like baby carrots or something,

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: and then each you know, each week you added a

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: new food to it. And look, my dad's a food scientist.

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: My dad's a microbiologist, and he has always been in

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: the thought of giving or exposing kids in small amounts

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: to things early on so they develop and if you

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: do see something, obviously initially you can see it, but

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: so they develop natural immunity to it so their body

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: doesn't reject it later. That makes a lot of sense.

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: It's the same concept of a vaccination. If you give

44
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: a live or a dead virus a little bit introduce

45
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: something to your body, your body will yes develop an

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: immunity or have a correct response to it.

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: But that did not used to be the guidance. Doctors

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: used to suggest that you don't introduce things like peanuts,

49
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: things with potential to have issues with allergens to kids

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: until they were at least three, That you shouldn't risk it,

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: you shouldn't mess with it. That was the guidance before

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: guidance changed because of a twenty fifteen study and then

53
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: another twenty seventeen study, and then that's when the guidance

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: changed in twenty seventeen, so they started robes taking a

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: look at kids. So this latest information we got was

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: just them taking a look at kids since twenty seventeen

57
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: when the official guidance changed, and when they said, yes,

58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: start introducing peanuts a little peanut butter to your kids

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: early on. When that guidance changed, there was a sharp

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: decline and the number of kids with peanut allergies, and

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: they are saying, yes, we can directly link the two.

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: They followed one hundred and twenty five thousand kids since

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen doctors said they again started introducing kids to

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: peanuts and the diets as early as four months old. Now,

65
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: as a parent, still hearing that, they just freak you

66
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: out to be giving your kids something they might be

67
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: allergic to and you think they might have an awful

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: reaction to.

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think when you've got this perfect little newborn, yes,

70
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: you're nervous about anything. Your first one, you were so

71
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: careful and you you know, I'm sure I monitored you know,

72
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: Eva every second after I gave her a new food,

73
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: just to make sure nothing had happened. But yes, that's

74
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: anxiety inducing to give your chrial something that you know

75
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: can actually be a fatal or a lethal substance to

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: some kids if they have allergies to it.

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Noah, So Carrie, I think that would still no matter

78
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: what the guidance is. I think a lot of people

79
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: are still hesitant because of what you just describe and

80
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: when you said it like that, you have this perfect

81
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: new n right.

82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: You don't want to do anything to you know, upset

83
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: the baby or affect the baby in any wrong way.

84
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: You want to make sure you do everything you can. Yes,

85
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: but they say to give kids as early as four

86
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: months old.

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Crazy.

88
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of kids don't even go into

89
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: solid foods until six months old. So but they're saying, yes,

90
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: start giving them little tiny drops or little dollops of it.

91
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Basically, And so that's what they started recommending in twenty seventeen.

92
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: And folks, here is the big number. Since twenty seventeen,

93
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: they have seen a forty three percent drop in allergies

94
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: in kids robes. That is that's insane significant.

95
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: Wow, that's wow that and that is a reason to celebrate,

96
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: and that is very cool that we could figure something

97
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: out like that because so not just so that's a

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: forty three percent drop in peanut allergies and kids since

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, but thirty six percent overall drop in food

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: allergies in general. So it helped produce whatever your body

101
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: needs to produce to protect itself against anything that it

102
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: would consider a pathogen or an antigen. I don't know

103
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: what the verb or the term is for that, but

104
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: certainly that makes a lot of sense. So here are

105
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: the other big astonishing numbers. That means that sixty thousand

106
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: kids did not develop allergies that might have and forty

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: thousand kids did not develop peanut allergies that they might

108
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: have that is huge and roabes.

109
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: They say the numbers could and should be better because

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: we've been slow to implement it, and they say there's

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: so many what do they call allogists out there who

112
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: still don't give this recommendation to parents, like.

113
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: Because they'd be out of business.

114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you know I didn't die. Damn. You go right

115
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: to the cynical part.

116
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: It's always about money, You go in right in.

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that. But yes, they say

118
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: they've been slow to implement and so people still aren't

119
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: doing it, and they're screaming and yelling about this study,

120
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: Like what else do you want.

121
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: Folks exactly?

122
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this is honestly a study like this is

123
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: so helpful because if yes, you're a new parent now

124
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: and you've got this little baby, hearing that reading that

125
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: makes you feel so much more just okay with giving

126
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: that little four month old a taste of peanut butter.

127
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: And it's just I actually kind of remember what happened

128
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: with sabine, but I think the recommendation was to yeah,

129
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: it was a little dab of peanut butter. You're not

130
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: And again they want to remind the recommendations. Again, Robot

131
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: and I are not doctors at all. We're telling you

132
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: what doctors are saying, and doctors say, you're not giving

133
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: them the peanuts for or the peanut butter for nutrients.

134
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: It's just a little tester, So just a little fingernail

135
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: size bit is all it takes, So don't give them

136
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: a whole meal.

137
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: But yes, but kids do love peanut butter, so it's

138
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: a fun one to do. It's I loved that moment

139
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: of giving a baby a new taste, like where they're

140
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: literally tasting something for the very first time. And then

141
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: of course someone's always mean and gives a new baby

142
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: a little lemon slice. And then really, oh my family

143
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: did that statistic. Oh it was my grandfather's favorite thing

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: to do. Get a new baby, put them at the

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: end of the table. Everyone give them a lemon. The

146
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: baby's all excited, puts the lemon up to their mouth

147
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: and makes like the craziest face because it's the most

148
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: sour taste. We all die laughing, wow, and then the

149
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: baby usually starts crying because everyone's laughing.

150
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's unusual.

151
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: This is what happens in my house at Thanksgiving.

152
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: Jeez. So the allergies, at least in some homes, are

153
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the least of the kids' worries. But for other kids,

154
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: they do have to worry about these allergies. Now, they

155
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: started to figure this out, if you go back a

156
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: little bit twenty fifteen, this was interesting to me. When

157
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: they started to figure this out robes. They were noticing

158
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: that Jewish kids, one group of Jewish kids was ten

159
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: times more likely to have a peanut allergy than this

160
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: other group of Jewish kids. What was the difference. One

161
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: set lived in Israel, the other set lived outside of Israel.

162
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: And they have these little peanut snacks that are popular

163
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: among kids. So I call these bamba bamba snacks that

164
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: they start giving kids early on, and they say that's

165
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: an introduction of peanuts. And they started piecing this thing together.

166
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: But the big study was the leap they called it

167
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: in the Learning Early about Peanut allergy leap is what

168
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: they call. And this was the first one to show that, yes,

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: if you start to introduce early on in kids, that

170
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: you can have good results and avoid allergies, in particular

171
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: peanut allergy.

172
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: That is so cool, and you actually included when you

173
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: put this all together, what a peanut allergy is anyway,

174
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: And I think this is actually really interesting because for

175
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: people who don't understand why it can be fatal, it's

176
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: your body reacting to it. So a peanut allergy is

177
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: caused when the body's own immune system mistakenly identifies proteins

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: in peanuts as harmful and then releases chemicals that trigger

179
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: allergic symptoms like hives, respiratory symptoms, and sometimes life threatening

180
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: and aphylaxis.

181
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: And look I developed.

182
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: I've had a couple different allergies that have developed at

183
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: different times in my life, but I had both times

184
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: when I was pregnant, I developed allergies, and my dad

185
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: told me that's very common because your immune system is

186
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: getting torqued and tweaked because you're pregnant. And so I

187
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: suddenly developed an allergy to avocados and it lasted ten years,

188
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: but they can come and go.

189
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,359
Speaker 3: Allergies are fascinated.

190
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: So I have a shelfish now allergy that I have

191
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: a cut.

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: Yes, while I was pregnant.

193
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 2: So your body, like your hormonal system changes and even

194
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: when you get older, you can get adult on set

195
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 2: allergies as well. So it's my mom used to get

196
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: upset because I had a lot of different allergies growing up,

197
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: and certainly have hay fever and you do too comes spring.

198
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: It's gotten better as I've gotten older.

199
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 2: But my mom was told, and I think a lot

200
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: of women are told, that if you breastfeed, you then

201
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: reduce allergic risks to your children.

202
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: But I've never seen.

203
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: But she said that was like one of the one

204
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: main reasons why she breastfeed mews because she thought she

205
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: was protecting me from allergens.

206
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: So it's like something mons or old. I Nope, it

207
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: did not, absolutely not.

208
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: But obviously there are a lot of other great things

209
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: that come with breast milk, so I won't go into that,

210
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: but it is interesting and you think about it. Moms

211
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: are always trying to figure out how they can yes

212
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: prevent things from happening to their children. So it's counterintuitive

213
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: maybe to give your child something that you would be

214
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: concerned could cause harm, like peanuts or peanut butter.

215
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: And yes, again, folks, we are passing along what they're saying.

216
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: They're not suggesting under any circumstance that you just start

217
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: serving the baby no peanut butter. It's just a little introduction. Again,

218
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: they described it as just a fingernail size pit.

219
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 3: He wrote a little hit a couple times a week.

220
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: That perfect TJ way to put it.

221
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: Okay, that didn't sound like a doctor gave their recommendation,

222
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: so I decided maybe I shouldn't include that. But folks,

223
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Look, they didn't just help a

224
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: bunch of kids out. They helped a bunch of adults out.

225
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: Kids don't often robes grow out of their allergies. They

226
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: might be stuck with it. So exactly how many folks

227
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: out there end up growing out of their peanut allergies

228
00:11:52,920 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. Stay with us, all right, We

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: are back, folks here Amy and TJ talking about these

230
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: peanut allergies and an avocado allergy. Apparently I just learned

231
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: about maybe I have that.

232
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: Mine did go Yeah, well, no, I actually had severe

233
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: like I had to go to the emergency room.

234
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh avocado. And what age was it?

235
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: That's sort of when I was pregnant with Annaly? So

236
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: I was thirty two.

237
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: But here's the interesting thing, And I learned this when

238
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: I also then developed a prawn allergy.

239
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 3: It took me a while to figure it out.

240
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: That was also in my thirties and my DA's it's

241
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: actually really common to have this happen, especially as a

242
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 2: woman going through all the different changes you go through

243
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: when you're pregnant. But I found that the more you

244
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: get introduced to it, and I know anyone who has

245
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: an allergy out there and understands this. So mine had

246
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: gone from being a stomach irritation to a hives situation.

247
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: So then I remember everywhere I was traveling internationally, if

248
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: I had anything with any sort of shellfish, I didn't

249
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: know what it was. I started getting hives everywhere, and

250
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: then it dated a couple of years later to all

251
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden, my tongue got felt fat and my

252
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: throat was swelling and it was felt anaphylactic.

253
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: And that's when I.

254
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: Really got scared. So yeah, I so I still to

255
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: this day. You know, I do not eat shrimp or prawn.

256
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: How can we grow you out of that one?

257
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: Well, I would love to be because I used to

258
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: be able to eat shrimp.

259
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: So allergies are fascinating to me.

260
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: So it's cool to think there's something you can do

261
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: and the more and like, I was not introduced to

262
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: seafood as a kid, ever, I grew up in the Midwest.

263
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: We did not have seafood, so you have to think

264
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: that that could have contributed to me after a couple

265
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: of exposures to shrimp later on in life, suddenly now

266
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: I have a shellfish allergy.

267
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's really how I'd love to get you out

268
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: of that one.

269
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: I know, I know it's a problem.

270
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: You love shrimp. Get oh, I used to love it.

271
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: You know where I used to love it at Benny Hannah,

272
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: I love this shrimp there.

273
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: Yes, we love this some Benihanna. But no, but we

274
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: talk about forty thousand kids here saved from peanut allergies,

275
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: sixty thousand kids overall, say from some kind of food allergy.

276
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: But roads they're saving sixty thousand adults from having to

277
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: deal with this the rest of their lives because folks,

278
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: generally speaking, adults are not growing out of their childhood allergies.

279
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: You're kind of they're with you for life. And the

280
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: estimates are only twenty thirty percent actually end up growing

281
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: out of a lot of these allergies. So this is

282
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: wonderful new You are potentially parents out there who follow

283
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: this advice. You are saving this child possibly a lifetime

284
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: of something they have to do with.

285
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: And yes, because it's so scary for the parent. I

286
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: know you hear about the worst case scenarios every now

287
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: and then, but I can't imagine the fear of knowing

288
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: that my child had a life threatening allergy, and everywhere

289
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: they went out in the world, even as they got older,

290
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: you still think you're a stupid kid. You're in college,

291
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: you're dumb, you don't think about things the way you should.

292
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: And just to know that there's something out there that

293
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: seemingly seems innocuous and is.

294
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: Fine for a lot of folks could kill your child.

295
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: That is a huge, huge relief for a lot of

296
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: folks to know that they just do this simple thing

297
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: early on, you can prevent not just a lifetime of fear.

298
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: For your chop, but for you. You live in fear

299
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: always a.

300
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Good point, and I haven't had to deal with anything

301
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: like this. I've known people that not that close to

302
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: folks who have to deal with this, but it's I

303
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: can't imagine a life where you're reading every label, where

304
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: you're having to go through every ingredient, where you haven't

305
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: asked all the questions of the waiter and the chef,

306
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: and you're having to do all these things because of

307
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: something that could for a lot of folks is beyond

308
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: sneezing and coughing and wheezing.

309
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's not just annoying, it's life threatening. Yeah,

310
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: it's scary. And anyone who.

311
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: Has had an anaphylactic response, which I have had twice

312
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: in my life when I was in London and when

313
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: I was in Scotland because they put prawn stock and

314
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: things that I didn't realize and it took me a second.

315
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, why is my throat getting closed, is

316
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: closing up? Why is my tongue feeling fat and thick?

317
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: And it all of them. You start to panic. You

318
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: have to have steroids, you have to travel with an EpiPen.

319
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: It's scary. But they also noticed in this different study, correct,

320
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: because they've done a couple of studies that kids with

321
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: ezema were two to six times higher at risk for

322
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: food allergies.

323
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: Yes, so that's another thing they started noticing and piecing

324
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: together because the food allergens, so the allergens are getting

325
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: in through the skin, So they were trying to find

326
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: a way to combat that and started to introduce it

327
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: to the kids and they saw the reduction. So they

328
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: just made the connection. That exzema study or looking at

329
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: that was another thing that gave them more evidence that

330
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: they need to be looking into feeding. Putting it in

331
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: your gut was what that study.

332
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: Told them, because it's easier for your body to tolerate

333
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: allergens through your stomach than through your skin.

334
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: That is exactly what I said.

335
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense. Look, and I have

336
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: been to allergists several times in my life. I used

337
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: to get shots in my arms to try and prevent

338
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: seasonal allergies.

339
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: I have been.

340
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: They have told me I'm allergic to everything that grows

341
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: and listed things from cherries to watermelon whatever. I still

342
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: eat what I want for the most part, but it's

343
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: nice to know that introducing in small doses through the

344
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: advice of your doctor, you know, certain foods to your

345
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: children can actually have a lifetime of benefits.

346
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: Officially, what are you allergic to? Food? Allergy?

347
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: The only thing I know is prawns right now, because

348
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: and avocados I just have to I can still, I

349
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: can have.

350
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: Them now, but I have to be careful about how

351
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: much I have.

352
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: It's so weird to have that developed because if I

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: have like a full I get really like my stomach.

354
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: I actually want to die. It's the worst feeling in

355
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: the world. Are you allergic to anything?

356
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

357
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 3: Any things? You only eat like eight things? Okay, it's

358
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: working for you.

Speaker 1: Well, folks, there you go. This is a very very

360
