WEBVTT - Go Ahead, Give That Baby Some Peanut Butter 

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, hear that babies and peanut butter. Welcome to

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>this episode of Amy and DJ Robes. This is a

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>big deal confirmation we know that it works and that

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>we should all be giving babies a little introduction of peanuts.

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Right because peanut allergies have gotten, and at least had

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>gotten while my kids were school aged out of control

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 2>to the point where nobody could bring a PB and Jada.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 3>School anymore, and that was like my go to.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that's a healthy choice, but peanut butter

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and banana sandwich. Oh my gosh, that's what I took

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>every day, and I couldn't pack that for my kids

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.879
<v Speaker 2>because there were too many peanut allergies.

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Really yeah, okay, Well, we know this affects millions of kids.

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>The estimates of kind of all over the place, but

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>anywhere from two to four plus percent of kids have

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>specifically a peanut allergy. About eight percent of kids have

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>some kind of food allergy, but peanuts that is the

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>most prevalent among our children. Well, there's a not just

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a new study, guidance changed, and now we have confirmation

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Robes that the guidance was right and this is working.

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Fewer kids have allergies because of this the guidance, yes.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 3>And it's significant.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not just a few they're saying that they have

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>saved significant I think they gave a very specific number

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of folks who would have had peanut allergies who now longer,

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>do not or never developed.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>You've had two kids, the youngest is nineteighteen, so go

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>back two decades. What was the guidance doctors were giving

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>around that time for pe nuts and introducing things like that.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I believe I was told to introduce it all to them.

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, you've got this schedule basically, so you can

0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 2>see if there's an allergy.

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 3>So first you give them.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I forgot what it was like baby carrots or something,

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and then each you know, each week you added a

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 2>new food to it. And look, my dad's a food scientist.

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>My dad's a microbiologist, and he has always been in

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the thought of giving or exposing kids in small amounts

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 2>to things early on so they develop and if you

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>do see something, obviously initially you can see it, but

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>so they develop natural immunity to it so their body

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 2>doesn't reject it later. That makes a lot of sense.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>It's the same concept of a vaccination. If you give

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>a live or a dead virus a little bit introduce

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>something to your body, your body will yes develop an

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>immunity or have a correct response to it.

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But that did not used to be the guidance. Doctors

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>used to suggest that you don't introduce things like peanuts,

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>things with potential to have issues with allergens to kids

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>until they were at least three, That you shouldn't risk it,

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't mess with it. That was the guidance before

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>guidance changed because of a twenty fifteen study and then

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>another twenty seventeen study, and then that's when the guidance

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>changed in twenty seventeen, so they started robes taking a

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>look at kids. So this latest information we got was

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>just them taking a look at kids since twenty seventeen

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>when the official guidance changed, and when they said, yes,

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 1>start introducing peanuts a little peanut butter to your kids

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>early on. When that guidance changed, there was a sharp

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>decline and the number of kids with peanut allergies, and

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they are saying, yes, we can directly link the two.

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>They followed one hundred and twenty five thousand kids since

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen doctors said they again started introducing kids to

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>peanuts and the diets as early as four months old. Now,

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>as a parent, still hearing that, they just freak you

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>out to be giving your kids something they might be

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>allergic to and you think they might have an awful

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>reaction to.

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think when you've got this perfect little newborn, yes,

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you're nervous about anything. Your first one, you were so

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>careful and you you know, I'm sure I monitored you know,

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Eva every second after I gave her a new food,

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 2>just to make sure nothing had happened. But yes, that's

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>anxiety inducing to give your chrial something that you know

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 2>can actually be a fatal or a lethal substance to

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>some kids if they have allergies to it.

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Noah, So Carrie, I think that would still no matter

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>what the guidance is. I think a lot of people

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>are still hesitant because of what you just describe and

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>when you said it like that, you have this perfect

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>new n right.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to do anything to you know, upset

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 2>the baby or affect the baby in any wrong way.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 3>You want to make sure you do everything you can. Yes,

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 3>but they say to give kids as early as four

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 3>months old.

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Crazy.

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean a lot of kids don't even go into

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>solid foods until six months old. So but they're saying, yes,

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>start giving them little tiny drops or little dollops of it.

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Basically, And so that's what they started recommending in twenty seventeen.

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>And folks, here is the big number. Since twenty seventeen,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they have seen a forty three percent drop in allergies

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in kids robes. That is that's insane significant.

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's wow that and that is a reason to celebrate,

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>and that is very cool that we could figure something

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>out like that because so not just so that's a

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>forty three percent drop in peanut allergies and kids since

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, but thirty six percent overall drop in food

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 2>allergies in general. So it helped produce whatever your body

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>needs to produce to protect itself against anything that it

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>would consider a pathogen or an antigen. I don't know

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>what the verb or the term is for that, but

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 2>certainly that makes a lot of sense. So here are

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the other big astonishing numbers. That means that sixty thousand

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>kids did not develop allergies that might have and forty

0:05:55.960 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand kids did not develop peanut allergies that they might

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>have that is huge and roabes.

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>They say the numbers could and should be better because

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>we've been slow to implement it, and they say there's

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>so many what do they call allogists out there who

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>still don't give this recommendation to parents, like.

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 3>Because they'd be out of business.

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you know I didn't die. Damn. You go right

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to the cynical part.

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>It's always about money, You go in right in.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even think about that. But yes, they say

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>they've been slow to implement and so people still aren't

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>doing it, and they're screaming and yelling about this study,

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Like what else do you want.

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Folks exactly?

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is honestly a study like this is

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>so helpful because if yes, you're a new parent now

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>and you've got this little baby, hearing that reading that

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>makes you feel so much more just okay with giving

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>that little four month old a taste of peanut butter.

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's just I actually kind of remember what happened

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>with sabine, but I think the recommendation was to yeah,

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it was a little dab of peanut butter. You're not

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>And again they want to remind the recommendations. Again, Robot

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and I are not doctors at all. We're telling you

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>what doctors are saying, and doctors say, you're not giving

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>them the peanuts for or the peanut butter for nutrients.

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just a little tester, So just a little fingernail

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>size bit is all it takes, So don't give them

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a whole meal.

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>But yes, but kids do love peanut butter, so it's

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>a fun one to do. It's I loved that moment

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>of giving a baby a new taste, like where they're

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>literally tasting something for the very first time. And then

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>of course someone's always mean and gives a new baby

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>a little lemon slice. And then really, oh my family

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 2>did that statistic. Oh it was my grandfather's favorite thing

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to do. Get a new baby, put them at the

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>end of the table. Everyone give them a lemon. The

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 2>baby's all excited, puts the lemon up to their mouth

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 2>and makes like the craziest face because it's the most

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>sour taste. We all die laughing, wow, and then the

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>baby usually starts crying because everyone's laughing.

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because it's unusual.

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 3>This is what happens in my house at Thanksgiving.

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Jeez. So the allergies, at least in some homes, are

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the least of the kids' worries. But for other kids,

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they do have to worry about these allergies. Now, they

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>started to figure this out, if you go back a

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit twenty fifteen, this was interesting to me. When

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they started to figure this out robes. They were noticing

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that Jewish kids, one group of Jewish kids was ten

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>times more likely to have a peanut allergy than this

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>other group of Jewish kids. What was the difference. One

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>set lived in Israel, the other set lived outside of Israel.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And they have these little peanut snacks that are popular

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>among kids. So I call these bamba bamba snacks that

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>they start giving kids early on, and they say that's

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>an introduction of peanuts. And they started piecing this thing together.

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>But the big study was the leap they called it

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Learning Early about Peanut allergy leap is what

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>they call. And this was the first one to show that, yes,

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>if you start to introduce early on in kids, that

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you can have good results and avoid allergies, in particular

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>peanut allergy.

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.959
<v Speaker 2>That is so cool, and you actually included when you

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 2>put this all together, what a peanut allergy is anyway,

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And I think this is actually really interesting because for

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>people who don't understand why it can be fatal, it's

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>your body reacting to it. So a peanut allergy is

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>caused when the body's own immune system mistakenly identifies proteins

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in peanuts as harmful and then releases chemicals that trigger

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>allergic symptoms like hives, respiratory symptoms, and sometimes life threatening

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and aphylaxis.

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 3>And look I developed.

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I've had a couple different allergies that have developed at

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 2>different times in my life, but I had both times

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>when I was pregnant, I developed allergies, and my dad

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>told me that's very common because your immune system is

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>getting torqued and tweaked because you're pregnant. And so I

0:09:55.520 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>suddenly developed an allergy to avocados and it lasted ten years,

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>but they can come and go.

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.359
<v Speaker 3>Allergies are fascinated.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>So I have a shelfish now allergy that I have

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>a cut.

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, while I was pregnant.

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 2>So your body, like your hormonal system changes and even

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>when you get older, you can get adult on set

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 2>allergies as well. So it's my mom used to get

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 2>upset because I had a lot of different allergies growing up,

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and certainly have hay fever and you do too comes spring.

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 3>It's gotten better as I've gotten older.

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 2>But my mom was told, and I think a lot

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>of women are told, that if you breastfeed, you then

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 2>reduce allergic risks to your children.

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 3>But I've never seen.

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 2>But she said that was like one of the one

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>main reasons why she breastfeed mews because she thought she

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 2>was protecting me from allergens.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 3>So it's like something mons or old. I Nope, it

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 3>did not, absolutely not.

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 2>But obviously there are a lot of other great things

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 2>that come with breast milk, so I won't go into that,

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>but it is interesting and you think about it. Moms

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>are always trying to figure out how they can yes

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>prevent things from happening to their children. So it's counterintuitive

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe to give your child something that you would be

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 2>concerned could cause harm, like peanuts or peanut butter.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And yes, again, folks, we are passing along what they're saying.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>They're not suggesting under any circumstance that you just start

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>serving the baby no peanut butter. It's just a little introduction. Again,

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they described it as just a fingernail size pit.

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 3>He wrote a little hit a couple times a week.

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 3>That perfect TJ way to put it.

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that didn't sound like a doctor gave their recommendation,

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 1>so I decided maybe I shouldn't include that. But folks,

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. Look, they didn't just help a

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 1>bunch of kids out. They helped a bunch of adults out.

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Kids don't often robes grow out of their allergies. They

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>might be stuck with it. So exactly how many folks

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>out there end up growing out of their peanut allergies

0:11:52.920 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that. Stay with us, all right, We

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>are back, folks here Amy and TJ talking about these

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>peanut allergies and an avocado allergy. Apparently I just learned

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>about maybe I have that.

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Mine did go Yeah, well, no, I actually had severe

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 2>like I had to go to the emergency room.

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh avocado. And what age was it?

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 3>That's sort of when I was pregnant with Annaly? So

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 3>I was thirty two.

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 2>But here's the interesting thing, And I learned this when

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I also then developed a prawn allergy.

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:30.839
<v Speaker 3>It took me a while to figure it out.

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>That was also in my thirties and my DA's it's

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>actually really common to have this happen, especially as a

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>woman going through all the different changes you go through

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 2>when you're pregnant. But I found that the more you

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>get introduced to it, and I know anyone who has

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.959
<v Speaker 2>an allergy out there and understands this. So mine had

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 2>gone from being a stomach irritation to a hives situation.

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 2>So then I remember everywhere I was traveling internationally, if

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I had anything with any sort of shellfish, I didn't

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 2>know what it was. I started getting hives everywhere, and

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 2>then it dated a couple of years later to all

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.200
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, my tongue got felt fat and my

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>throat was swelling and it was felt anaphylactic.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 3>And that's when I.

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Really got scared. So yeah, I so I still to

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>this day. You know, I do not eat shrimp or prawn.

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>How can we grow you out of that one?

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would love to be because I used to

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>be able to eat shrimp.

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 3>So allergies are fascinating to me.

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's cool to think there's something you can do

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and the more and like, I was not introduced to

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 2>seafood as a kid, ever, I grew up in the Midwest.

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 2>We did not have seafood, so you have to think

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>that that could have contributed to me after a couple

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>of exposures to shrimp later on in life, suddenly now

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I have a shellfish allergy.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's really how I'd love to get you out

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of that one.

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know it's a problem.

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.680
<v Speaker 2>You love shrimp. Get oh, I used to love it.

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 2>You know where I used to love it at Benny Hannah,

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 2>I love this shrimp there.

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we love this some Benihanna. But no, but we

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about forty thousand kids here saved from peanut allergies,

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>sixty thousand kids overall, say from some kind of food allergy.

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>But roads they're saving sixty thousand adults from having to

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.960
<v Speaker 1>deal with this the rest of their lives because folks,

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 1>generally speaking, adults are not growing out of their childhood allergies.

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>You're kind of they're with you for life. And the

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>estimates are only twenty thirty percent actually end up growing

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>out of a lot of these allergies. So this is

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>wonderful new You are potentially parents out there who follow

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>this advice. You are saving this child possibly a lifetime

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>of something they have to do with.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 2>And yes, because it's so scary for the parent. I

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>know you hear about the worst case scenarios every now

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and then, but I can't imagine the fear of knowing

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>that my child had a life threatening allergy, and everywhere

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>they went out in the world, even as they got older,

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you still think you're a stupid kid. You're in college,

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 2>you're dumb, you don't think about things the way you should.

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>And just to know that there's something out there that

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 2>seemingly seems innocuous and is.

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Fine for a lot of folks could kill your child.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 2>That is a huge, huge relief for a lot of

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>folks to know that they just do this simple thing

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 2>early on, you can prevent not just a lifetime of fear.

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 3>For your chop, but for you. You live in fear

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 3>always a.

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Good point, and I haven't had to deal with anything

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>like this. I've known people that not that close to

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>folks who have to deal with this, but it's I

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine a life where you're reading every label, where

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>you're having to go through every ingredient, where you haven't

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>asked all the questions of the waiter and the chef,

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're having to do all these things because of

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>something that could for a lot of folks is beyond

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>sneezing and coughing and wheezing.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, it's not just annoying, it's life threatening. Yeah,

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 3>it's scary. And anyone who.

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Has had an anaphylactic response, which I have had twice

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 2>in my life when I was in London and when

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I was in Scotland because they put prawn stock and

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 2>things that I didn't realize and it took me a second.

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, wait, why is my throat getting closed, is

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>closing up? Why is my tongue feeling fat and thick?

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>And it all of them. You start to panic. You

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>have to have steroids, you have to travel with an EpiPen.

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 2>It's scary. But they also noticed in this different study, correct,

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>because they've done a couple of studies that kids with

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>ezema were two to six times higher at risk for

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>food allergies.

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so that's another thing they started noticing and piecing

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 1>together because the food allergens, so the allergens are getting

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in through the skin, So they were trying to find

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a way to combat that and started to introduce it

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to the kids and they saw the reduction. So they

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>just made the connection. That exzema study or looking at

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that was another thing that gave them more evidence that

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 1>they need to be looking into feeding. Putting it in

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>your gut was what that study.

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Told them, because it's easier for your body to tolerate

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>allergens through your stomach than through your skin.

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>That is exactly what I said.

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 2>That makes a lot of sense. Look, and I have

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>been to allergists several times in my life. I used

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>to get shots in my arms to try and prevent

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 2>seasonal allergies.

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I have been.

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>They have told me I'm allergic to everything that grows

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and listed things from cherries to watermelon whatever. I still

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 2>eat what I want for the most part, but it's

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>nice to know that introducing in small doses through the

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 2>advice of your doctor, you know, certain foods to your

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 2>children can actually have a lifetime of benefits.

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Officially, what are you allergic to? Food? Allergy?

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I know is prawns right now, because

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 2>and avocados I just have to I can still, I

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 2>can have.

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 3>Them now, but I have to be careful about how

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 3>much I have.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It's so weird to have that developed because if I
